Man, you're in trouble.
Greece had no central government. They had independent "city states" like Athens, Thebes, Sparta, Corinth, etc.- at least 50 such cities. Each made its own laws, its own system of government, its own army and politics.
Sometimes they acted together- like in the wars with Persia. Sometimes (and far more often) they fought each other.
Government.
Athens. Democracy- only rich men, born in Athens of Athenian parents, can vote.
Sparta. They had two Kings and an elected Council which supervised them
Thebes. Any person who defended the city (and there were opportunities enough) could become a citizen.
Look up the keywords, and next time don't leave this till the last minute
