In Sparta, rulers were not elected in the traditional sense; instead, they were dual kingship, with two hereditary kings from two separate royal families, the Agiads and the Eurypontids. These kings held their positions for life and were chosen based on lineage rather than election. Additionally, the Spartan political system included the Gerousia, a council of elders, which played a significant role in governance, but it did not elect the kings. The kings' authority was also complemented by the ephors, a group of five elected officials who held significant power in overseeing the kings and state affairs.
Oligarchy (Rule by Few). The oligarchy of Sparta was: 2 Kings (priestly and judicial functions, elected by the assembly), 5 Ephors "Overseers" (presided over the senate and the assembly, put legislation before the assembly, the loudest yes or no was decided by the ephors, elected annually by the assembly), Senate (elected by the assembly for life, prepared legislation for the assembly and advised the Kings), Assembly (Free male citizens over 30, elected kings, ehpors and senate, voted on legislation but could not initiate it). Women, children, slaves and non-athenians did not vote…. JUST did an essay on that xD
In Sparta, a high-ranking government official elected by the council of elders (the Gerousia) was known as a "Ephor." The Ephors were a group of five officials who held significant power, overseeing the day-to-day administration of the state, enforcing laws, and managing foreign policy. They served as a check on the kings and could even bring them to trial. The position of Ephor was crucial in maintaining the balance of power within the Spartan political system.
