The government in Athens had a group called the council of 500. Proposed Laws had to be approved by a much larger group called the Assembly. The Assembly would meet on a hill every 10 days and at least  6,000 citizens  for the meeting ton take place.The Assembly debated issues, and voted on laws proposed by the council. 

Spartan government was an Oligarchy instead of a Democracy. Spartan government was dedicated to military strength. Sparta also had an assembly, but more important issues were decided by a much smaller group called the Council of Elders.To be elected into the Council of Elders Men had to be at least 60 years old, and from a noble family. The Assembly had to shout for the people they wanted to vote for. And whoever was the loudest would get elected. The Council of Elders held the real power in Sparta.]]> 2018-03-26 17:47:02 UTC https://padlet.com/upineda69/bmkxfnacw3yu/wish/246213963 upineda69 https://padlet.com/upineda69/bmkxfnacw3yu/wish/246215219 Athens Economy revolved around trade. Sense Athens lived by the sea they had a good harbor. With a good harbor they traded easily with other City-States. Their land was not good for farming so this was manly the only option. They traded for goods like Wood, Grain, and in exchange they traded away Honey, Olive Oil, Silver, and Pottery.  And all of this could be sold by the marketplace called the Agora. 

Spartan Economy revolved around taking other peoples goods with force and farming. All of the farming was not enough to feed its people so when necessary they would take the land of neighboring City-States. Who would then now work for Sparta and be called Helots. They could live in there own village but still had to give most of the most of the food they produced to Sparta. Sparta discouraged trade they feared that contact with other City-States would weaken there military. Sense they hated trade they used Iron bars as currency.

Both boys and girls educated differently, sense only boys went to school. Book learning and physical training were important. They went to school when they were both 6-7. Then leave when they were the age of 14.They were taught reading, writing, arithmetic, and literature. To build boys strength coaches taught them wrestling, and gymnastics, and they were also taught music. At 18 boys began military training. Girls did not learn  to read and write. They grew up helping there mothers with tasks around the house.  While cooking, cleaning, spin thread, and weave cloth. Poor Athenian Girls could choose there husbands. And rich had less choices.

For education in Sparta there number one goal was to have good soldiers, so no reading or writing. Spartan children learned to fight at the age of 7. They were taught many different types of Sports, and lived and trained in a place call the Barracks. Spartan boys were taught to suffer any amounts of pain, and were encouraged to steal food. At the age of 20 they were given difficult military tasks, if passed they would become a Spartan soldier, and given full citizenship. They could live with there family at the age of 30, and retire at the age of 60.]]> 2018-03-26 17:49:19 UTC https://padlet.com/upineda69/bmkxfnacw3yu/wish/246215261 upineda69 https://padlet.com/upineda69/bmkxfnacw3yu/wish/246215367 Women had less rights than men did in Athens. No property, No assembly, and most couldn't even choose there husbands. Most Athenian Women worked at home, and took care of their children until they were ready for school. And daughters would have to stay home with their mom and be educated there. Most people in Athens had least on slave. Some were born into slavery or captured in war. Slaves did a lot of the jobs in Athens, and even teach children at home. They worked harsh jobs like in cramped tunnels, 300 feet below the surface.  Where they had little air to breath.

In Sparta slaves were called Helots. They were the citizens of City-states that Sparta had conquered. Sparta treated them harshly sense their were more Helots than actual citizens, sense the fear they would revolt. Helots still had some rights, like marrying, sell there crops and pass down the name of there children. Women had more rights than Athenian women, they could own property, and marry again. They had ttolook for there husbands properties in times of war.]]> 2018-03-26 17:49:31 UTC https://padlet.com/upineda69/bmkxfnacw3yu/wish/246215367
