How is an oligarchy different from and autocracy?
An oligarchy is the rule of a select group of people that controlled the government of a nation. Public participation was negligible. A monarchy ruled by a king and hid family & friends. The transition of power was done on a heredity basis. This could be also termed an oligarchy. The difference in the former was that heredity was not a factor in transitioning power.

How did the writing of the Constitution help the people of America?
While the Constitution of the United States of America acknowledges that all people are endowed with certain inalienable rights, the document itself serves to establish a government for the United States of America, which is only a portion of America and represents only a percentage of the people in America. Given that America includes North America which is comprised of three different countries, all of which have their own constitutions, and then there is South America which is comprised of several more countries that also have their own constitution and in between North and South America there is Central America which is also comprised of several different countries all of which have their own constitutions. If the constitution has helped any person in "America", it has helped those individuals who have used that legal document as a point of law when helping themselves to live free and be happy.
When was an oligarchy government?
Oligarchy originated in ancient Greece and meant 'rule of the few'. The few means anything short of the full population, and could be narrow- a group of aristocrats, or broadly-based, such as all those who were landowners and warriors. In modern usage it applies to the more limited definition, but most oligarchies have been replaced by democracies ('people power'). Examples of an oligarchy are Athens in the Seventh Century BCE, Britain in the 18th Century AD, and currently several Middle East and African countries eg Saudi Arabia. The fact that there may be a nominal king (monarchy) is not relevant in real terms, it is where the power lies.
