Answer: B. Sparta a had more rigid, militaristic government than did Athens
Explanation: In terms of democracy, and the equality of people in those ancient times, Athens was the most advanced of all the Greek city states and is considered the cradle of democracy. Sparta, on the other hand, was known for nurturing a military's spirit, coaching boys for military ventures, because Sparta itself was traditionally a military city-state. Therefore, it cannot be said that in any sense Sparta secured greater democratic and civil rights among the citizens and in their government than in Athens. In Sparta, on the contrary, there were rigid military rules, led by a king or a group of aristocrats.
