Aristocracy

Aristocracy translating from Greek to Rule of the excellent or Rule of best is a system of government where political power is concentrated within a relatively small class of formal nobility or gentry.

History
It was very popular from the 4th century BC to the early 20th century, before the first world war. Aristocracy is still found in some places today, but due to the rise of democracy it is usually very limited.
