MERITS OF ARISTOCRACY

1. It is Moderate and Conservative:

The chief merit of aristocracy is its conservatism. It is, therefore, more stable. It is able to pursue a consistent policy as it is not subject to popular passions.

2. It lays more stress on Quality rather than on Quantity:

Under aristocracy arts and learning receive greater patronage than that in a democratic form of government. The art of government requires a special aptitude and expert knowledge which are possessed only by a few.

Thus the government conducted by these few must necessarily be good.

3. It is a rule of the wise:

Government under Aristocracy is run by a selected few who are wise and capable for running a government on sound lines.

The decisions in such a government arc mature, correct and rational and surely not easily affected by popular passions and senti­ments.

Merits of Aristocracy:

(1) It is the rule by competent and wise men:
In Aristocracy the administration is in the hands of wise people. Only best people can run the administration, and not the common people. According to Carlyle, “It is the everlasting privilege of the foolish to be governed by the wise”. John Stuart Mill says that “the governments which have been remarkable in history for sustained mental ability and vigour in the conduct of affairs have generally been aristocracies”.

(2) It covers ancient traditions:
Because of party influence laws are frequently changed in democracy but in aristocracy old traditions are maintained and change in these traditions is brought about only when considered essential. Thus, there is no complete break with the past.

(3) In the medieval ages even monarchs governed with the help of a few feudal lords:
When the franchise was limited, the political power was in the hands of a few people. Thus, all the governments were aristocracies. In ancient times and during middle Ages, the monarchs governed with the help of a few feudal lords. Without their help, it was difficult to run the administration, to win the war and to preserve law and order in the state. A strong emperor like Akbar also relied upon the help of the Moghul and the Rajput chiefs.

(4) Stability and efficiency:
Since administration rests in the hands of the wise, talented and experienced administrators, there is stability and efficiency in the administration.

(5) The evils of Monarchy and Democracy are not seen in Aristocracy and moderation and vigilance is the basis of the government.
