Which is better, democracy or monarchy?
I've seen few aristocracies of any sort that were sustainable in the long run. Sooner or later, those not born to power learn to resent it and rise up to take it. I suppose that there are probably exceptions in the universe, but no matter how imperfect a system may be where the leaders are chosen by popular compromise, a system in which leaders are installed by birthright seems vastly more flawed to me.
