Having taken over Messenia and turned the population into serfs who rendered half their produce to Sparta, the Spartans were supported and free to turn their activities to training for war in order to control and defend their expanded territories. The political result was that a council ran the country with an assembly of the citizens making decisions on matters put before them by the council. This created a balance betwen the aristocracy and the citizens - a limited democracy.

Who set up the political system of Sparta?

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.
