The Spartan Constitution refers to the political and social system established in ancient Sparta, designed to maintain order and discipline among its citizens. It was attributed to the legendary lawgiver Lycurgus, who implemented a series of reforms that emphasized military training, communal living, and strict adherence to laws. The constitution created a mixed government structure, combining elements of monarchy, oligarchy, and democracy. Central to the Spartan Constitution was the role of the Gerousia, a council of elders, and the Apella, an assembly of citizens. This system aimed to balance power and ensure that decisions reflected the interests of both the ruling elite and the broader citizenry. The constitution also enforced a rigorous education system known as the agoge, which prepared young Spartans for their roles as warriors and citizens.
