Sparta had a highly unusual system of government.
Two kings ruled the city, but a 28-member 'council of elders' limited their powers.
These men were recruited from the highest social class, the aristocratic Spartiates. Rather like medieval knights, the Spartiates were a class of military professionals who lived most of their lives in communal barracks. Rarely seeing their wives and children, their lands were farmed by slaves, leaving them free to pursue to the arts of war.
Beneath this highest class was a middle class, called the Perioeci. Made up of a farmers and artisans who were the descendants of those peoples whom the Spartans had first conquered, the Perioeci paid taxes and could serve in the army, but had no real political rights.
At the bottom were the helots: a slave class descended from those peoples who had resisted subjugation by Sparta. Because the helots were constantly rebelling, the Spartans attempted to control them by forming a secret society that annually murdered any helot suspected of encouraging subversion.

Answer: Because River valleys are most fertile region and the first human settlement were all done to do agriculture. The fertile soil in these regions were best suited for agriculture. Hence people first settled near river valleys. Most civilizations began near rivers and lakes. The people needed the water for drinking and growing plants, a skill learned during the Neolithic Revolution. River Valleys became ideal locations for cities and settlements because of the fertile land surrounding the river beds.

In the first question, the correct answer is the fourth option: The number of enslaved workers from Africa increased in the South because they were needed to grow labor-intensive crops. The economy in the South was based on plantations and slavery. Plantation farms for cash crops like rice, tobacco and sugar cane demanded extensive labor for cultivation. To cope with the demand, wealthy planters turned to slave traders, who imported slaves from Africa to work on the plantations. So great was the demand for slave labor, that slavery became the backbone of the Southern Colonies. It is believed that, in the antebellum South, slaves constituted about one third of the population in the South.
In the second question, the correct answer is the first option: Goods had to be shipped to British ports before being sold to other countries. The Navigation Acts were a series of mercantilist laws passed by Britain in order to foster her mercantile marine and protect her interests in North America. In 1651, Britain passed the first of a series of Navigation Acts. These acts stipulated, among other things, that goods imported from Asia, Africa, or the Colonies to Britain could travel to Britain, or any British colony, only in British ships or of the particular colony, it also established that all the commodities coming from the Colonies had to be trans-shipped through Britain first, restricting colonial trade.
