pericles
the spartans had more of a war like government whereas athens was education oriented.
Athens had a unique government, a direct democracy. This meant that every Athenian citizen voted on laws and legislation. Sparta was ruled by two kings and a 28 member council of elders.
The Athenian government was trying to be a democracy but did not succeed. The Spartans government was entirely different. The Spartans had an Oligarchy and a Monarchy. An Oligarchy is a government or council ruled by few people.

In Athenian government, women, slaves, and foreign residents (metics) were excluded from participation. Only free, male citizens who had completed their military training were allowed to vote and hold public office. This exclusion meant that a significant portion of the population had no say in political matters, despite being integral to the society.
The Greek leader who encouraged the people of his city to participate in government was Cleisthenes, often referred to as the "Father of Athenian Democracy." He introduced reforms in the late 6th century BCE that expanded political participation among Athenian citizens, allowing for greater involvement in decision-making and governance. His efforts laid the foundation for the democratic system that characterized ancient Athens and inspired future democratic ideals.
Free man only not women or slaves...=(
The Athenian statesman Solon instituted reforms to the Athenian government in 594 B.C. These reforms included the establishment of the Assembly, which allowed citizens to participate in decision-making, and the introduction of people's courts with juries, enhancing the judicial process and promoting greater civic involvement. Solon's changes aimed to alleviate social tensions and address economic disparities, laying the groundwork for Athenian democracy.
