How did people in athens and sparta obtain the right to participate in public life and make decisions affecting the community?

In order to make decisions and vote and be in the community, they had to be free people, meaning no slaves, and they had to be male adults, and they often had to be rich or at least not poor. These were the people who could vote and make decisions about the future of the country. It's something like an ancestor to our modern democracy.
