D) Athens had a true legislature while Sparta did not.

The legislative branch of government in Athens had two bodies in it: the Council of 500 and the Assembly of 6,000.

Sparta really didn't have a legislature, but rather the Gerousia, or council of elders, made up of men over the age of sixty.

Athens and Sparta were very different cities.

Athens developed a system that valued philosophy and active political involvement by its citizens in an early form of democracy. (Note that it wasn't full democracy as we'd think of it today, as those who had a political voice were free men, not women or slaves.)

Sparta developed a militaristic system that valued physical training and military service, as well as strict loyalty to the state.

Spartans were the first ones to present the democratic society (combined with monarchy) more than 150 years before Athens.
How come?
With two kings,Gerousia,ephoroi and democratic assembly NO one had an absolute power(while mathematically democratic assembly made from all citizens had the most power,even to exile kings), and all (Elders,Ephoroi,Kings,Assembly) controlled and limited the power of each other. 

So the assembly of all male citizens (their representatives) basically ruled Sparta.What is that if not democracy? 

Athenians did no such thing,their "democratic" system was an absolute power of an assembly that was consequently very popular pray for power hungry,and the place in it was won by all kinds of unmoral deceptions,misuse of poor blind and illiterate etc
Being passive or not military effective has nothing to do with democratic society...Contrary to the popular belief Spartan citizens were not repressed...they wished and believed in what they were doing. How undemocratic was Athenian society clearly shows their treatment of women.

Washington Gladden’s ideas would most closely be tied to which period in US history?

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

A) Great Depression

B) Civil Rights Movement

C) Progressive Movement

D) Reconstruction

E) Civil War

The right answer is C. Progressive Movement

The Progressive Movement is based on the idea that the improvement of the human condition can only be achieved via the development of science, technology, and economic development. In this context, we can find the work of Washington Gladden (1836-1918). He was a US Congregational pastor and was one of the leading members of the Progressive Movement. His ideas are in consonant with the ideas of the movement. He believed the American workforce should be unionized in order to achieve its goals and have a bargaining force against exploitation. And also, as a defendant of the movement, he strongly criticized the idea of racial segregation diffused in American society.

Why was the Western Russia migration (1800s-1980s) so important? Were there any lasting consequences?

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The collapse of the communist regimes in Eastern Europe brought widespread fear of a 'tidal wave' of immigrants from the East into Western Europe. Quite apart from the social and political importance, East-West migration also poses a challenge to established theories of migration, as in most cases the migrant flow cannot be categorised as either refugee movement or a labour migration.

Indeed much of the trans-border movement is not officially recognised, as many migrants are temporary, commuting, 'tourists' or illegal, and remain invisible to the authorities. This book focuses on Russian migration into Western Europe following the breakup of the Soviet Union. Helen Kopnina explores the concept of 'community' through an examination of the lives of Russian migrants in two major European cities, London and Amsterdam.

In both cases Kopnina finds an 'invisible community', inadequately defined in existing literature. Arguing that Russian migrants are highly diverse, both socially and in terms of their views and adaptation strategies, Kopnina uncovers a community divided by mutual antagonisms, prompting many to reject the idea of belonging to a community at all.

Based on extensive interviews, this fascinating and unique ethnographic account of the 'new migration' challenges the underlying assumptions of traditional migration studies and post-modern theories. It provides a powerful critique for the study of new migrant groups in Western Europe and the wider process of European identity formation.
