Government in Ancient Greece was a lot different then it is now. You will see in this section 2 different kinds of governments in Ancient Greece , Athens and Sparta. Athens' government was very different from Sparta, for example it is more fair. In Athens any free male citizen would meet in the village and vote on matters of importance. They will also elect people into places of government. If someone is elected and has a job already they will keep it as a part time job. But in Sparta, thing are allot different. In Sparta there many levels of government. For example they had 2 king instead of 1. Along with the 2 kings there were 5 officers called ephors, and a council of 28 elders. In Sparta as part of the education young free men at the age of 6 were first to be in military school. Also in Sparta people were not aloud to vote , all the decisions were made by the government. As you can see some parts of Ancient Greece governments are different from our government now and some parts are the same.
