Nope, it was not. In fact, as far as I remember, it was not for most of the time, unlike, for example Athens. Sparta was a city ruled by warrior elites, with people being shaped either as soldiers or slaves.

Sparta was actually a oligarchy kind of government, they didnt really have much of a democracy that was kinda Athens. Though they could have gone more into a democracy after a while. They were very dependent about military because of there inland location in greece they didnt have access to arde routes so they took over other places for the materials they needed.
