A form of government that combines elements of aristocracy (rule by the best or nobility) and democracy (rule by the people).
From Greek aristos (best) plus democracy. This term was coined to describe political systems that balanced noble influence with democratic participation.
A true aristodemocracy is super tricky because nobles always think they deserve more power, so it usually ends up looking more like aristocracy with a democracy mask on!
