Sparta already had a limited democracy - it had to consult its citizens who formed the army and would not fight if they didn't have a say in military and political decisions.
Athens developed its democracy after several false starts to throw off the oppression of its oligarchs who tried to keep the citizens under tight control and manipulate its resources to their own benefit.
