I was talking about politics with my friend earlier today, and he said his family has certain political views such as a group of people/board should have control and make decisions. And not a dictator or president.
I am sure it isn't communism, but what is it?

Oligarchy (Greek , OligarkhÃa) is a form of government where most or all political power effectively rests with a small, elite segment of society .. that has to do with weath though
Democracy (literally "rule by the people", from the Greek demos, "people", and kratos, "rule"[1]) is a form of government. While the term democracy is typically used in the context of a political state, the principles are also applicable to other groups and organizations.

if the group of people are elected to represent the people of a given geographic area, it would be a republic
if they hold power just because they are the wealthy, then it would be an oligarchy
if they are in power because of position within the church, it might be a theocracy

If I'm not mistaken, this form of government is known as an oligarchy.
