A system of government or society based on aristocratic principles; the doctrine that aristocracy is the best form of rule.
From aristocrat plus the suffix -ism. This word names both the political system and the ideology that supports rule by the nobility.
Aristocratism is really just a fancy word for 'letting the rich people decide everything,' which is why it fell out of favor once regular people got the right to vote!
