    Sparta was a democracy.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Sparta was not a democracy but rather an oligarchy. In an oligarchy, power is held by a small group of individuals, in this case, the Spartan elite. The government was led by two kings and a council of elders, who made decisions and governed the city-state. The citizens of Sparta had limited political rights and were primarily focused on military training and obedience to the state. Therefore, the statement that Sparta was a democracy is incorrect.
