`1`Oligarchy `2`
"Legal Lexicon":
OLIGARCHY - This name is given to designate the power which a few citizens of a state have usurped, which ought by the constitution to reside in the people. Among the Romans the government degenerated several times into an oligarchy; for example, under the decemvirs when they became the only magistrates in the commonwealth.
