Modern depictions of aristocracy tend to regard it not as a legitimate aristocracy (rule by the best), but rather as a plutocracy (rule by the rich).
The system of government by privileged citizens or the upper class is called aristocracy.

One of the cons of being an Aristocracy is that if the rulers son is less than intelligent, your stuck with the ruler being the George Bush of your country.
Aristotle believed that monarchy and aristocracy became dangerous when rulers in these systems began to prioritize their own interests over the common good of the society. He warned that when rulers became corrupt or tyrannical, the stability and well-being of the state were at risk.

The Northern Kingdom was defeated by the Assyrians and incorporated into their empire. The Assyrians imported a new aristocracy from Assyria to rule and keep the ten tribes in check. The aristocracy of the ten tribes was sent to Assyria to be non-sympathetic local rulers there. The exchange of aristocracies became standard process, and when the Babylonians took over from the Assyrians, and moved into southern Israel, they too exported the aristocracy to Babylon and introduced a new aristocracy from Babylon.
Good things about an aristocracy include stability and continuity in leadership, as power is often passed down through generations, leading to experienced rulers. However, bad things may include elitism, inequality, and limited opportunities for social mobility for the general population.
There are many countries that have a constitutional aristocracy. They include the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Japan, New Zealand and Norway.
According to Aristotle, there are three main types of government: monarchy, aristocracy, and polity. Monarchy is a rule by a single individual, aristocracy is rule by a few elite individuals, and polity is rule by the many, or the common people. Aristotle also recognized that each of these forms of government can devolve into a corrupt or unjust version: tyranny, oligarchy, and democracy, respectively.
