Who were the Ephores?

What were the pros and cons of Athenian and Spartan government and political structure?

Athens was a democracy and Sparta was a mixed constitution. A mixed constitution is much like the American government. A king ruled like the president, mostly for military purposes. Ephores oversaw the kings and they would be able to regulate the laws and the leaders. Athens's democracy helped people change their mind. It helped them to choose a leader that they want.
