An apella is the popular deliberative assembly in the Ancient Greek city-state of Sparta.
Apella was the official title of the popular assembly in the Ancient Greek city-state of Sparta, corresponding to the ecclesia in most other Greek states
The Apella was the assembly of male citizens in ancient Sparta, responsible for making important decisions regarding laws and policies. Its members would vote on proposals put forth by the Gerousia, the council of elders, which included matters such as military campaigns, alliances, and the election of certain officials. While the Apella could express its will through voting, its power was limited, as the Gerousia held significant influence over the legislative process. Overall, the Apella played a key role in Sparta's political system by participating in the governance of the state.

There were the two kings, the Gerousia ( or council of Elders), The Ephorate and the Ekklesia (or the apella, or the Assembly).
There are five top meeting places in New York. Those consist of Apella, Andaz 5th Avenue, Bowlmor Times Square, Empire Room, and Skylight West. Each venue is determined by season or type of meeting.
Sparta's government was different than other Greek governments. They had two kings ruled the city, but a 28-member council of elders limited the powers of the kings. These men were recruited from the aristocratic Spartiates.
The political system of Sparta was established by the legendary lawgiver Lycurgus. He is credited with creating a mixed constitution that included elements of monarchy, oligarchy, and democracy, which allowed for a balance of power among the two hereditary kings, the Council of Elders (Gerousia), and the Assembly of citizens (Apella). Lycurgus' reforms focused on military discipline, communal living, and social equality among Spartan citizens, shaping Sparta into a dominant military state in ancient Greece.
Sparta had a government that consisted of two kings (one from the Agrid family and one from the Eurypontid family), five Ephors (supreme magistrates), the Gerousia (council of elders) and the Apella (the assembly of equals - all Spartan men over the age of 30). The kings and the Ephors made all the most important decisions about the state and battle and education and the Gerouisa had a big input in law but even if they all make a unanimous decision it can still be overruled by the whole Apella. In that sense it is an almost democratic government except that woman or slaves cannot have a say.The Spartan government was a fusion of monarchy, oligarchy and demoracy.The government of Sparta consisted of the two kings, the Gerousia, the Ephors and the Ecclesia/Apella:Gerousia - It consisted of the two kings plus 28 elders.

The Spartan government was an oligarchic system characterized by dual kingship, with two hereditary kings from separate royal families ruling simultaneously. It featured a council of elders called the Gerousia, which included the kings and 28 other men over the age of 60, responsible for proposing laws. Additionally, the Apella, an assembly of male citizens, voted on these proposals. The ephors, a group of five elected officials, held significant power, overseeing the kings and ensuring they adhered to the laws.
