Spartans were a lot more aggressive and war-minded to other city states. Also women were seen as equals more than other city-states as they were allowed to go to school and take on male roles but in other ways they were inferior as they obeyed men like slaves.
The Spartans were a lot more conservative with their religion and everyday life as they would never build buildings of stone only certain temples, otherwise they would build it from wood as to why there is hardly any evidence of Sparta.

So Spartans did not have to do their own farming, and could devote themselves to military activity to provide for internal security in relation to the serfs, and external security against competing other city-states.

How was it possible that different parts of Greece had different forms of government?
The idea of a unified Greece under one government is a modern construction. Ancient Greece was a region, not one country. The various cities, such as Athens, Thebes, Sparta, Corinth, Megara, Delphi, Pylos, etc. each ruled themselves independently of one another, leading each to be called a city-state, since the city and the surrounding countryside were independent of other states. Since the city-states were all independent, they each had their own form of government.
