Sparta is considered an oligarchy because its political system was dominated by a small group of elite individuals, primarily the two hereditary kings and the Gerousia, a council of elders composed of men over the age of 60. This ruling class held significant power over decision-making, including military and legislative matters. Additionally, the majority of the population, including the helots (state-owned serfs) and perioikoi (free non-citizens), had no political rights, further emphasizing the oligarchic nature of Spartan governance. Thus, the concentration of authority in the hands of a few distinguished citizens defines Sparta as an oligarchic state.
