  5. Athens and Sparta • Athens and Sparta were two large Greek city-states. • Both Athens and Sparta became large and powerful because they were centers of trade. The “agora” was an open space used for business and public activities. Trade once bustled in this agora in Athens. All that is left today are ruins.

  6. Government

  7. What type of government did Athens have? • The Council of Five Hundred was made up of 500 men, 50 men from each of the 10 tribes. Any citizen over the age of 30 was qualified to be a member. Each tribe chose the men by lot, or at random, to serve for a term of one year. Members could be reelected only once. The yearly turnover allowed for a greater number of Athenian citizens to participate in their government at a high level. Laws were passed by a majority vote in the assembly.

  8. Athenian Government • The first direct democracy was developed in Athens. • Citizens worked together to make laws and policies. Women and slaves were not considered citizens, so they did not have the right to vote.

  9. What type of government did Sparta have? The city-state Sparta in Ancient Greece had a 30 member senate. It also had an assembly in which all males could be members. However, the actual rulers were a group of five landowners known as the ephorate. Two kings ruled above the ephorate, but the ephors could fire the kings if they were not living up to their promises.
