Sparta was ruled by an oligarchy, Athens by democracy Sparta had 2 kings, 5 ephors (overseers) a senate (if you were in it you were elected for life), and an assembly which voted on legislation (you had to be a man and over 30)
Athens had a council of 500, which was divided into ten groups of 50 and changed its elected president every day, a board of ten generals, a jury of 6000 selected by lot from the citizens, judicial board of nine archons, and an assembly

The difference is that they were in a war, of couse one lost and one won. Can you guess which one lost? a. Spartas b. Athens If you said Athens, you are correct. The athens ruled for many years. Then Sparta came and kicked their butts in the war! AncientGreekGirl :)
1. Persia 2. Alexander the great 3. sometimes Athens 4. eventually rome
The Spartans were stronger, but Athens had a better trained army... I think. The Spartans were the "Navy Seals" of the Greek states. Roughest and toughest soldiers by far. But Athens was the best naval power of Greece.
not sure who their friends were but they HATED Sparta i know that
it was beter because their govnerment was democracy which means the people were the rulers no king or any body like that
Because they didn't yell "this is Sparta" they yelled "This is Athens"
The difference between Athens and Sparta is:SParta is a oligarchy.Athens is a direct-democracyOne difference between the city-states of Athens in Sparta was that Sparta was ruled by a king while Athens was overseen by a democratically elected group.
