Sparta was cool. they killed people. Athens was a bunch of panzies.
While they did kill people, they also were the first direct democracy.
^^ Not entirely helpful, but sadly true.
In Sparta they had what we'd call a Constitutional Monarchy. This means that the King of Sparta would basically be a figure-head for the people to rally around; he didn't have any real power (except in wars I think).
Athens however was the origins of Democracy. In Athens though they practised Direct Democracy, which is the citizens of Athens going and voting on particular issues themselves instead of having MPs, or Senators doing it for them.
In most countries that have a Democracy, there is a Representative Democracy which involves voting a person to represent you in the government/parliament/senate.
So...
Sparta = Constitutional Monarchy
Athens = Direct Democracy
