Athens. In Sparta, cases were judged by a council of elders, the Gerousia.
Spartan decisions were primarily made through a combination of the Gerousia (Council of Elders), the Apella (assembly of male citizens), and the dual kingship. The Gerousia, composed of 28 elders over the age of 60 and the two kings, would propose laws and policies, while the Apella had the authority to vote on these proposals. Major decisions, especially military ones, often involved consultation with the kings and the Gerousia. This system ensured a balance of power and collective input in governance.
