Very few to almost none. Also it really depends the time period, because Athens was not always a democracy and has passed many political phases such as tyranny, oligarchy, aristocracy etc. Sparta was an Oligarchic State; officially a Diarchical Monarchy (Kingdom) with two royal families reigning in turns, had a typical and ceremonial role but they were the head of the Armed Forces. They were far from absolute power as the Gerousia (30 (28+the 2 kings) Elders from high class would form the Senate and be elected from the Apella, meaning the people) would be the ones to have judicial role and confirm a law. The kings were though above Gerousia. The Kings though were also under the oversight of the Ephoroi (lit. they who over-see) a body that made sure that the Kings would not abuse their power and could veto them.

In other words, it was a triangular system of control of one above another so no-one would obtain absolute power.
