The difference in Athens and Sparta represents to me one
of their rare times in history when a Monarchy gave its citizens
more rights than a democracy. Athens became a democracy after
the fall of its monarch in 594 BCE. Athens then became a direct
democracy where the majority of its citizens had a direct voice
in Government and would elect persons each year to govern and
make decisions. Athens also promoted education, culture, art,
and philosophy and they were the main tenants of Athenian life.
Sparta however was a monarchy/oligarchy while also being a
meritocracy. Sparta was intensely focused on military might and
every male citizen was expected to serve as a solider in this
army. The spartan kings were from two families and had equal
authority in terms of rule and would both serve as generals in
the spartan army. Unlike Athens, warfare was the main tenant of
spartan society and was the base of its economy. Rights in
Sparta were also given to women and non-citizens who lived in
the city. Women were allowed to vote in the Apella and non-
citizens were allowed to serve in the spartan army, although in a
support role.
Spartans would be given wives and land once they
reached the age of 30. This makes me wonder how many spartan
men lived to be that old
