Explanation:

In Sparta, the society was highly militarized. Soldiers and warriors (Spartiates) were the ruling class with the most power, as Sparta's system prioritized military strength and the Spartiates held political, social, and economic dominance. Merchants had limited power, women had more rights than in other Greek city - states but less than soldiers, and Helots were enslaved people with no power.
