'Aristocracy' is a form of government, which rule is established in through an
internal struggle over who has the most status and influence over society and
internal relations. Power is maintained by a hereditary elite, from a caste,
class or family (dynasty or even some individuals). See Aristocracy
(class)#History for the historical roots of the term.
Aristocracies have most often been hereditary plutocracies (see below), with a
belief in their own superiority. They often include a monarch who although a
member of the aristocracy, rules over it as well as over the rest of society.
The term "aristocracy" is derived from the Greek language aristokratia, meaning
'the rule of the best'.
