different from each other in many ways because they were seperated from each other by low
rugged mountains and Athens was located in northeast of sparta and Sparta was located in
the South Central region of Greece known as the Peloponnesus. The Athenians had a
democracy and Athens was first ruled by one king but in 750 B.C. some Athen noble
merchant and manufacturer took over, Spartans had a military aristocracy they was once
ruled by one king but in 800 B.C., Aristorals or nobles took over the government and from
that time Sparta had two kings. Athens government was a direct democracy. citizens had
the right to make and vote on laws. Citizens served on jury. Sparta government was an
oligarchy and one man ruled. Citizens had no right to make laws and there was no jury
system.

camps, and were treated very badly and men were expected to marry at 18, Athens men were
expected to be citizens by 18 and from seven boys were taught mathematics, writng, and
