Athenians rule.
Come along with me and I will tell you why ATHEN RULE. If you were a boy you would LOVE I mean LOVE it. Just keep on reading and you will figure out why??????????
Education
In Athens if your were a girl you wouldn't get education. But if you are a girl and you don't want education and instead you want to cook, clean, dance and they learned ancient songs you would love Athens. If you were a boy you would love either or but there was different was in Sparta boys were taught endure amount of pain and encouraged to steal pretty much like they really didn't care about you (Like trash). In Athens Boys were taught read, write, arithmetic, literature, physical exercise till the age 14. At 18 us boys began military training.
Government
In Athens every ten days they held assemblies that consisted 6000 citizens, They voted on many issues and laws prospered by the council. People that were consisted citizens had to be Eighteen years old, free and male. But to be elected in council of elders in Sparta you have to be men, 60 years old and from a noble family. Well most people don't even live that long, Sparta was mainly military focused.
Economy
Athenians economy was based on trade. They traded at the Agora- large marketplace, in Sparta they discouraged trade they relied on farming and peoples stuff they relied on slaves and non citizens to do they work which to me is usually but non citizens that is all the way wrong. But Athens made their own money (coins), That is much easier for me so I will not be carrying around a lot of Bills.
