Bailey Tran · Answer 1

Leaders come from a small group of aristocratic families.

Explanation:

All the other mentioned postulates are the part of democratic systems. Aristocracy for example was at the head of countries such as Sparta, where only small group of people controlled everything. There are no elections, participation of citizens. All decisions are brought by a small group of rich and influential people.
