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.
