Current day American government}}<blockquote>"It's just a burning memory..." -Al Bowlly</blockquote>'''Gerontocracy''' is a form of oligarchical rule in which an entity is ruled by leaders who are significantly older than most of the adult population. The ancient Greeks were among the first to believe in this idea of gerontocracies; as famously stated by Plato "it is for the elder man to rule and for the younger to submit". However, these beliefs are not unique to ancient Greece, as many cultures still subscribe to this way of thinking. This belief has been very common in ancient tribal communities as the lack of writing meant that people relied on older people to seek knowledge much more frequently.
