Both were strictly ruled - Sparta was a limited democracy, Athens for a time became a radical democracy. Spartan citizens devoted their time to military training as they had a serf population to support them, Athenians did part-time military training only as they had to earn a living.

What were the pros and cons of Athenian and Spartan government and political structure?
Athens was a democracy and Sparta was a mixed constitution. A mixed constitution is much like the American government. A king ruled like the president, mostly for military purposes. Ephores oversaw the kings and they would be able to regulate the laws and the leaders. Athens's democracy helped people change their mind. It helped them to choose a leader that they want.
What are 5 ways Athens and Sparta were the same and 5 ways they were different?
Well first the Athens government is a direct government. Sparta isn't. Athens ruled Ancient Greece for many years and were the most powerful group. Then during the Peloponnesian war, which was Sparta v.s the powerful Athens (in the 400's B.C) at the end, we ended with a new powerful group called Sparta. The Spartanians were so releaved and excited and Athenians so depressed. That is a big difference in Greek City-States government. Some similarities is that they both had citizens that had to be males, but a big difference between that is to be a citizen in Athenia, you had to be a male, but you had to have family in that city-state for 3 generations. In Sparta and other city-states you had to be also a male, but had to be born in that city-state which made a lot of Citizens. Thanks! AncientGreekGirl :)
What were the characteristics of the Greek city-state?
By approximately 600 BC/BCE there were about 300 independent Greek city states. The characteristics of these states varied, however, most can be described as having several commonalities. The center of the city state was built on or within the confines of fortified hills for security purposes. In the outlying areas were small villages and farms and pastured animals. Most of the city states had small populations. An exception to this was the great city state of Athens. Athens became a large city state, that at its peak contained a population of almost 400,000. The citizens of these city states took great pride in their small civilizations and were loyal to the state and their neighbors. As mentioned, Athens was a large city state and only perhaps Sparta can be compared to it.These two Greek city states stand out in history books due to their important places in ancient Greek history. To a lessor extent, smaller city states shared many of the values of either Athens or Sparta.Sparta was known for its military strength and was ruled by a small oligarchy.Athens was larger and as time passed gradually developed a system of government called a "democracy".In a sense these two leading city states had fundamental differences. In Sparta, the city state demanded total allegiance to the militaristic policies of the government. Military training began at an early age and many historians classify Sparta as warrior based civilization ruled by a small select group of citizens.In theory, laws created by the elite oligarchy had to be approved in a popular assembly of lessor citizens. As with many ancient civilizations prior to the time when Sparta became a dominating military force, voting by citizens outside the elite power structure was deceptive.On the other hand, Athens began as an city state ruled by an aristocratic king. The monarchy style government was overthrown and Athens became a city state ruled by an oligarchy, much in the same fashion as Sparta. As time passed, however, what can be called a democracy, became the government structure of Athens. This term is used loosely as Athens had the characteristics of a limited democracy. Of the total population perhaps 50% had political rights.The economies of the Greek city states are more easily defined. Agriculture was a source of food and for trade among the city states. Small scale industry consisting of crafters and mining were sources of revenue and for domestic use.Commerce, by trading routes or by sea, brought in wealth and new products the city states could not produce themselves.

What is the difference between Sparta and Athens.?
The difference between Sparta and Athens is that in Sparta, the ruling government was a military government, while in Athens, the ruling government was a democracy. In Sparta, the people focus on military matters. That is because of the fear of an uprising by their helots. In Athens, a democracy ruled. People voted on many matters such as which one they thought was the most dangerous to their testate and even military and naval expeditions against rival statutes. The different arts such as sculpture and poetry also flourished more in Athens. Athenians believed that one should also focus themselves on matters other than military ones. Athens focused on trades, technologies, civilizations, studies,... while Sparta focused on the military. That's why Spartan warriors were the most fierce warriors in Ancient Greece. Athens also treated their children differently. For example: Boys were taught reading, writing, mathematics, music, poetry, and sports. While in Sparta, they took them away from their parents at 7 yrs. old, to train for war. Further, in Sparta, both - boys and girls went to school, but in Athens, boys went to school but the girls did not, but attended basically, house work.
