To accurately compare the government systems of Sparta and Carthage based on your statements, we can analyze each one:

1. **The Spartan and Carthaginian governments both had an assembly. The Spartan government elected citizens in the assembly while the Carthage government did not.**
- **Analysis**: This statement is misleading. While both governments had assemblies, Sparta's assembly (the Apella) allowed male citizens to vote on proposals but did not elect leaders; they were instead appointed or inherited (like kings). Carthage had a more complex assembly system and some elected leaders (i.e., the suffetes). Therefore, this statement is inaccurate.

2. **The Spartan and Carthaginian governments both had two leaders. The Spartan government had hereditary kings while the Carthaginian government had elected leaders.**
- **Analysis**: This statement is accurate. Sparta had two hereditary kings (dual monarchy) while Carthage had two magistrates known as suffetes who were elected, confirming the comparison.

3. **The Spartan and Carthaginian governments were both oligarchies. Carthage focused more on military matters and Sparta focused more on democracy.**
- **Analysis**: While both systems had oligarchic elements, referring to Carthage's focus on military over democracy is inaccurate. Sparta was more focused on military training and discipline, while Carthage operated more like an oligarchy with merchant and trade interests. This statement is misleading.

4. **The Spartan and Carthaginian governments both used a council. The Spartan senate used 500 elected officials while the council of Carthage had 28 elected officials.**
- **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. The Spartan council (Gerousia) consisted of 28 elders and the two kings, totaling 30 members, not 500. The council of Carthage indeed had fewer members (the 28), and this statement misrepresents both systems.

In summary, the most accurate comparison between the governments of Sparta and Carthage is from the second statement regarding the leadership structure, which is the only accurate comprehensively evaluated statement among the given options.
