Aristocratic republic

So imagine you and your friends are making a club, but instead of just anyone being able to join, only certain people are allowed. These are the people who are already really important, like the queen or the prince.

Now, the way you decide what to do in the club is by having meetings. But instead of everyone getting to vote and have a say, only the really important people get to vote.

This is what an aristocratic republic is like. It's a club where only the really important people are allowed to join and decide what to do. Kind of like a secret club where only a select few get to be members and make decisions.
