Abstract

This article tackles the stepwise institutionalization that occurred as a representation of the nobility’s interest vis-à-vis the medieval monarchs. This institutionalization first bred estates of the countries, which, over time, evolved into parliaments. The article demonstrates how the thus induced aristocratic power-sharing structures within narrow aristocratic elites made the democratization processes of the nineteenth century resilient against backlashes and how this contributed to the astounding sustainability of contemporary Western democracies.
