Options:

oligarchy

plutocracy

aristocracy

Correct Answer:

plutocracy

Explanation:

The option that means the same as the group of words "a government run by the wealthy people" is plutocracy.

  • Oligarchy is a government ruled by a small group of people.
  • Monarchy is a government ruled by a king or queen.
  • Aristocracy is a government ruled by a small group of people who are considered to be superior because of their birth or social status.

Plutocracy is a system of government in which the wealthy have a disproportionate amount of power and influence. This can happen in a number of ways, such as through campaign donations, lobbying, and control of the media. In a plutocracy, the government is more likely to make policies that benefit the wealthy, rather than the general public.
