An oligarchy is a government that is ruled by a small exclusive number of leaders. They form a close knit group and its main tendency is to limit the rights of the nation's citizens. New leaders are selected on the basis of family or political and economic relationships. An oligarchy cannot exist if it allows citizen voting to choose governmental positions. One of the ancient classical examples of an oligarchy was ancient Sparta, in Greece.
