Answer to Question 1

Marx defined social class in economic terms, or people's relationship to the means of production. Weber held that people are stratified not only by their relation to the means of production but also by how much honor or prestige they receive from others and how much power they command. Where Marx's view of stratification is unidimensional, Weber's is three-dimensional.
