Oligarchy by: Anthony Huber

Oligarchy, derived from the noun form, refers to a government controlled by a small group of individuals, often representing specific families or factions. This form of governance allows a few influential people to make decisions impacting the entire state. A notable historical example is a country ruled by an oligarchy of landowners until 1916, where a parliament operated with limited suffrage, emphasizing the exclusion of the majority from political power. Understanding oligarchies is essential in analyzing power dynamics in various governments.
