While Athenians revered politics and public services, and found participating in either an honor, the Spartans were the exact opposite. Spartans would say that the only worthy public service is serving your country is in the military. Spartans left the majority of running the government to ephors. Men to old or to maimed to be of any help in the military, men that had a son killed were also included in this group (if they couldn't lie their way out of it). This difference can all be seen in one defining fact; Spartans not only let their helots participate in the government but gave them a level of power that the Athenians usually left for only some of the more respected citizens of Athens. Also should be mentioned the word laconic directly applies to the spartan way of public speaking, something they detested.

Why do you think democracy expanded in Athens but not in Sparta?
Personally, I think that democracy expanded in Athens and not Sparta, because Athens had a different kind of government from the start and democracy worked for them. Sparta was more military based and were always prepared to fight war. This is just the type of system they had. Oddly, their city-state vanished without trace after the Peloponnesian war. Doesn't that say something good about democracies? Athens had a better system. Overall, both city-states saw their way fit and the other one was wrong. Why would you try your enemies kind of government instead of sticking with your own? This must be what the Spartans thought.
What type of democracy did Sparta have?
