Government and Sparta

                       Today in class we continued note taking. We talked about things such as the Greek government and Sparta. Over the weekend i did my research for my PowerPoint on the Greek's government system, so I was a little bit familiar with how it works. There are four types of government: Monarchy, Oligarchy  Tyranny, and Democracy. A monarchy is when a  country is ruled by a hereditary line of people. An oligarchy is when a few people run the country. A tyranny is when a country is ruled by a tyrant, or a dictator. Lastly, a democracy was when the people basically ruled themselves. We also talked about Sparta  Sparta was VERY warlike, and that's an understatement  Boys could spend their time from ages 7 to about 60 just fighting in wars and training. Women actually had more freedom a a result because they got to run businesses and take care of their children.
