No, they didn't. Sparta was an oligarchy.
(Oligarchy: a form of government in which all power is vested in a few persons or in a dominant class or clique; government by the few.)
Another view:
Sparta had a limited democracy. The citizens met in assembly and voted on issues put to them by the council, but could not raise issues themselves. It was necessary for the council to do this as the citizens were also the army, and no oligarchs could hope to have unfettered control over them as would be the case in an oligarchy. If they wanted the citizens to fight, they had to give them a say on what happens.
On top of that, Sparta was also a diarchy/ double monarchy since it had two kings for the most of their history. However the kings were war and religious leaders.

∙ 14y agoYes. Sparta was a totalitarian state. Every Spartan had no choice, from cradle to grave, on what they were allowed to do. The government controlled every aspect of their life and fed them their ideals on bravery and strength.

∙ 13y agoNo, they did not have democracy, I believe. Whether laws were right or wrong, the citizens had no say for the most part.

Athens developed it into a radical one with the assembly voted and the council implemented.
