Answer 2

(d). if the statement is Aristocracy are they often clashed with the ideas of the monarchs.

Explanation:

• For the sake of diplomacy in high society, the aristocratic class spoke French.
• Members of this class were bound together by a common way of life that transcended regional boundaries.
• Their families were frequently linked by marriage ties. They had country estates as well as city residences.
• Though they were few, the aristocracy was Europe's ruling class.
• The word's origins in ancient Greece were considered as governance by the best-qualified citizens and it was frequently contrasted favorably with the monarchy or individual rule.
• The term was coined by Aristotle and Plato to describe a system in which only the best of the citizens, chosen through a careful process of selection, would become rulers, and the hereditary rule would be outlawed unless the rulers' children performed better and were better endowed with the attributes that make a person fit to rule than every other citizen in the polity.
• In this sense, hereditary authority is more akin to Oligarchy, a corrupted type of aristocracy in which a few, but not the best, govern.
