Oligarchy (Rule by Few). The oligarchy of Sparta was: 2 Kings (priestly and judicial functions, elected by the assembly), 5 Ephors "Overseers" (presided over the senate and the assembly, put legislation before the assembly, the loudest yes or no was decided by the ephors, elected annually by the assembly), Senate (elected by the assembly for life, prepared legislation for the assembly and advised the Kings), Assembly (Free male citizens over 30, elected kings, ehpors and senate, voted on legislation but could not initiate it). Women, children, slaves and non-athenians did not vote…. JUST did an essay on that xD
