Answer:
D. a booming system of trade
Explanation:
One major reason for the economic success of the Greek city-states was their successful trade with other civilization.
Athens and Sparta engaged in trade with other countries, buying and selling which helped them to become economically secure and successful.
Sparta was ruled by two kings, who ruled until they died or were forced out of office. Athens was ruled by archons, who were elected annually. Thus, because both parts of Athens' government had leaders who were elected, Athens is said to have been the birthplace of democracy. Spartan life was simple.
The mountainous topography of the Greek peninsula resulted in the isolation of these two city-states.
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 a strict loyalty to the state.
V. A free, open-minded, and absolutely impartial adjustment of all colonial claims, based upon a strict observance of the principle that in determining all such questions of sovereignty the interests of the populations concerned must have equal weight with the equitable claims of the government whose title is to be determined.
