Democracy x Aristocracy

Nowadays, it seems a little strange to talk about the power of (or in) the people because there are so many democratic governments. But at the time the term democracy was created, it was very common for political regimes to exist that were not democratic, such as the aristocracy.

In the aristocracy, government is in the hands of those who consider themselves better. Power comes into these people's hands because of economic, social or heredity privileges and they remain in charge by imposition or the use of force. If the people don't agree with what they decide, they can't do anything to change it.

Let's take an example: If in your classroom the decision about the closing party for the semester is discussed with the participation of all colleagues or among chosen representatives of the class, we are talking about a democracy. But if one of the students is the son of an important businessman or the mayor of the city, and that's why he think of the right to rule and choose for everyone, without the support of the class, here we are talking about a aristocracy.
