I would like to live in Sparta because I would like to have heavy irons bars for money. One reason is because I would like to learn how to fight at the age of 7.The second reason is because the girls have the same rights as the boys. The last reason I would like to live in Sparta is because we learn how to read and write but it was not so importing. Although Athens didn't have to suffer pain at the age of 18 but I still would prefer living in Sparta.

I would want to live in sparta because it seems way more fair to people (girls) cause now they can walk outside without a man haven to watch them all the time. Athens are more harsh even though sparta has more slaves athena is more harsh. In athena girls arent aloud to leave the house and they have to cook alot and do choirs. That is why I chose sparta.

There are to Greek states, they are Athens and Sparta. I choose Sparta for many reasons. One reason is the women get treated fairly and have some rights. Another reason why, is because children are able to defend themselves at the age of seven. This is good because all children can be ready if they ever have to fight. One last reason is that Sparta has a lot of soldiers. This is good because the people can feel protected and don’t have to be scared or worried of attacks. Although Athens, don’t have a lot of slaves, I still would prefer to live in Sparta.

. I would rather live in Sparta. My first reason why I would live in Sparta is we get the same education like boys. The second reason is we get to get out more instead of a man taking us out. My last reason is we would get to fight at the age 7 so we can defend our self. Although Athens carries coins then carrying heavy blocks. I would rather live in Sparta.

I would like to live in Sparta because it allows women to have an education and it let's us girls live in the same house as men even if they passed away. Also they let us have almost the same rights as men.

I would prefer to live in Athens. I would for many reasons. One is that the boys start getting trained for the military at age 18. In Sparta, people are trained at the age of 7 and the boys have to suffer pain to pass the final test. Another reason is that in Athens, boys learn LAL, math, gymnastics, and music. In Sparta, people are usually taught to fight with a little bit of reading and writing. Last, the Athenian government is a democracy, so all free men can vote. In Sparta, the government is an oligarchy with 28 elders and 2 kings, so no citizens get to vote. Although in Sparta, girls have the same rights as men, I would still choose to live in Athens.

I would want to live in Sparta. I would want to live in Sparta because of the girls rights we will be able to have equal rights just like men. The Athenians don't have girl rights they just make them do all the house work. I would also live in Sparta because I would want to learn how to box at the age 7. I would also live in Sparta because of the heavy iron bars and the money. Although the Athenians do not suffer at a young age learning how to fight in their city I would still prefer living in the Sparta.

I would live in Athens because its less harsh. Sparta sounds cool and all of that, but if you really lived in Sparta I think you will regret it(am talking to the guys or girls that picked Sparta) because they would hurt you bad like they did to Jesus Christ, but you would have to hold. Ya Athens education sounds super boring, but it I s better then suffering lots of pain.

Athens or Sparta? This is a really hard question, they are both pretty awesome but I have decided that I would rather live in Sparta. I chose Sparta because what we were taught in school, we learned many much more stuff then I do in school right now and they taught both boys and girls. I would also rather live in Sparta because girls have rights also. They learned the same things boys did. Although Athens got to vote for they’re government, I would still rather live in Sparta.

Athens is pretty cool, but its harsh for women. I mean really in Athens women can't get out of the house or own property. I still think the fact that you can learn to fight at age 7 is pretty baffling. I really don't like reading or writing so Sparta is my best bet. If I was away at war at least my family could take care of my property, but in Athens that won't be possible. I like the thought of an Oligarchy because democracy could cause chaos. Only the wisest people are in the Council of elders. Although a democracy sounds good I still prefer Sparta.

I would prefer to live in Sparta. Athens has too many strict laws such as you cant leave the house without a man present. Also girls were married at 15 and not by choice and they were not taught to read or write. In Sparta girls or women had the same rights as men and they were able to leave the house whenever they want without a man present. Boys and girls were trained to fight at age 7. At 18 they had to take a test to become a soldier and citizen. These are some of the reasons why I would live in Sparta.

I would rather live in Sparta because I think it is really cool. At seven years old, children were taught to fight. It is important that the children learn how to defend themselves. Because of this, the Spartans won a lot of battles and conquered a lot of land. Women have more rights in Sparta than they do in Athens. They learned what the men learned. I would not have wanted to be treated any differently. Finally, I would rather live in Sparta because women could go out on their own there. In Athens, woman can not go out without a man. Although the Athenians treasured art, I would rather live in Sparta, where I would be more appreciated and get treated better.

I would rather live in Sparta’s Greek city-state. I would want to live in Sparta because Sparta’s education you have to be trained to fight at age 7. The women have more rights. You are able to go to school. And you could leave without men’s guard . They are also able to keep a house as they live here. If the husband is in war for a long time, the woman is able to choose a new husband. In fact they didn’t have to get married at the age of 15 and have children.

I would like to live in Athens. I would like to live there for many reasons. First in the Athens you get a better education then in Sparta (well besides the girls). Also in the Athens they have an amazing army and boys start getting trained for military at the age of 18.finaly when your in the Athens you worship Athena goddess of war and wisdom which means your most likely never going to loose in a fight. Although girls don’t have the same rights as the boys I would like to live in the Athens.

The Greek city state I would rather live in Sparta because it tells all the details required. First the Education of Sparta, it says that all children were taught to fight at the age of seven. Also I don’t really like to write and read and in Sparta they teach you that too but Is not considered important. The third thing is that I like they’re government because there money is in a iron material and that way is hard for people to steal your money. Lastly in Athens girls were not able to learn what boys use to learnbut in Sparta they learn the same.

I would love to live in Sparta because women could own property we would have more rights and freedom and we would have to be strong and protect our property. Also I would like to live there because we would use heavy iron bars for money and then it would be more difficult for someone to steal your money and your money would go all over the place. And also all children would be trained to fight at the age of seven and being taught to read and write wasn't important it was about the bronze and you would learn how to defend the land and become soldiers. Although Athens seem bad they also have some positive to them is boys had the ability to read, write, do math, learn literature , do wrestling , gymnastics , music and begin military training at 18 years old the boys had a good and better education but since I am a girl the Sparta would be better .

Although the athenians had a well education, the spartans allow everyone to be free and teach people to defend themselves.My reasons are that girls had the same rights as boys.Also,if you are teached yo defend yourself, they're wont be many attacks and invasion. This is why I picked sparta.

I would love to live in the Greek city state of Spartan because for for the economy, the spartans would use heavy iron bars for money. So then no one can steal your money beacuse it's so heavy. Also, every child can get trained to fight at age of 7. So that means to me that you can learn a lot of self-defense moves and how we can protect ourselves.

I would rather live in Sparta than Athens. First, in Sparta you are trained to fight at 7 years old. Second, most men were at war, so that means less thieves. Third, we were forced to learn many subjects like LAL, Math,. Science, History, Fighting, and Gymnastics, etc. Although Athens had very little slaves compared to Sparta.

I would rather live in Sparta. Even though Athenian have less slaves and they use coins as money I would still want to live in Sparta like Sparta because children are able to be trained how to fight at the age of 7 which I think is pretty interesting then learning how to read and etc. In Sparta women have the same rights as men which is fair. women was also able to be strong and be able to guard their own property if their loved ones are at war. Another thin is that women are able to vote but it wouldn’t count because 2 kings and 28 men still made decision . In Athena only free men could vote no women and no slaves could have the rights as men. But although Athena may seem bad they also have good things.

I rather live in Sparta. Although Athens has less slaves than Sparta, I would still prefer to live there. In Athens, women don’t have the same rights as men. However, in Sparta, a woman is seen as strong enough to fight and defend their own city-state. Even if I was put into slavery, I’ll still have the ability to buy my way out. In Athens you can’t just buy gender equality. Plus, Spartan life looks pretty fun and entertaining, fighting seems to be the best thing to keep someone entertained since it’s millenniums until we get computers, smartphones, and television.

Although Athens men are free I still would prefer to live in Sparta. It is good to be taught to defend yourself of the age of seven. Boys in Sparta were taught to suffer pain. They get military training at the age of 18. Girls are taught to clean and cook. Women had the same rights like men. They get to own property. Women were expected strong and be able to fight. If there husbands take a long time in war they are able to remarry. 2 kings and 28 men made decisions. Farming and concerning people was the way they survived. They use heavy iron bars for moey.

The Greek city state I would rather live in is Sparta so I could have more rights than girls have in Athens. In Sparta you would learn how to fight and guard your house; you could go use this advantage as self defense. Women in Sparta would live the same as men; we could go off our property whenever we please. You could marry older than 15 years of age in Sparta. Although in Athens our kids wouldn’t have to suffer pain but I would still rather live in Sparta.
