The economy and the military
Sparta had a limited democracy which suited their needs. Athens had a dominant aristocracy which they overthrew and established a dictator (tyrant) to keep the aristocrats under control. When the Athenians tired of the tyrant, they replaced him with a limited democracy, the aristocrats took power again to resist the Persian invasion, and the people then replaced them with a democracy again led by Ephialtes, whom the aristocrats assassinated. His deputy Pericles took over and experimented with a radical democracy. This resulted in their leader leading them astray, and their defeat in the Peloponnesian War. They reverted to a limited democracy similar to the Spartan one.
Which control are you asking about.
Athens and Sparta fought the poleponesian war. and it was over control of all of Greece
It was kind of a law because in Sparta children had to go to school at the age of 7.
The five ephors were the governing council in Sparta, handling day to day matters. The dual kings of Sparta had mainly religious and war leader duties, and were advised by the ephors who effectively exercised political control. In Persia government was by the king, whose council advised him, but did not wield power.
because they thought that they will lose power and not be a great city state
A government controlled by a group of aristocrats is an oligarchy.
Sparta controls nothing

Athens was defeated by Sparta and its wall were pulled down. -_- say thanks!!
Sparta was upset with Athens attempt to control other Greek city-states
Athens was not in control of Sparta before, during or after the war. The only facet of its military that was stronger than Sparta's was the Athenian navy.
Sparta controlled an area in the southern Peloponnesian Peninsula known as Laconia. It also absorbed neighbouring Messenia which it had conquered.
