HW: Complete Athens vs Sparta Quote WS
Since this is Presidents Week-Lets look at a quote from an American
president and analyze it together.
 Read through both quotes, and decide whether you think the
quote best represents the government model of Ancient Sparta or
Athens.
 Underline a line from the quote that exemplifies either Spartan or
Athenian values and explain why that sentence is important.
 Finally take a guess at which historical figure said it.
“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and
lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”
1. Athens or Sparta?
2. Which line would we underline?
3. Who said it? What makes you come to that inference?
