Like any great empire that has come before or after it, the theories surrounding the fall of Rome are many. Since the empire crumbled, all other great empires or nations have been compared to Rome, with many coming up short. For many, understanding the fall of Rome is the key to the survival of our great nation, the United States. For much of this century, the U.S. has been compared to the Roman Empire in about every conceivable way. There are those who say that we are following the same path to destruction as the ancient Romans. So, why did Rome fall? Could their fate have been averted, and if so, would the world be different today? The answer lies in what you think after you have looked at all the facts. Let's examine what we know. We know the great empire known as Rome no longer exists. Now let's look at what we don't know. The following are a number of theories to help get you started thinking about the fall of Rome.
1. Did plagues reduce the population to the point it could not sustain itself?
2. Did civil wars lessen the strength of the empire and weaken the population?
3. Did the army lose its discipline and thus endanger the empire and cause it to be overrun?
4. Did the citizens of Rome become too satisfied and lazy, allowing the empire to crumble due to neglect?
5. Did the empire bureaucracy become too top heavy, eventually causing the empire to collapse upon itself?
6. Did it fall as the result of barbarian invasions?
7. Did the empire spend too much of its resources on the poor, thus drawing away precious funds from the empire?
8. Was the Roman Empire just too big, making a collapse inevitable?
9. What similarities exist between Rome and the United States?

10. Do you feel the United States is in the process of decline as a nation?


11. Assume for the minute that the U.S. is declining in a manner similar to Rome. How would you stop the slide and return the U.S. to its prior greatness?

12. Why did Rome fall? Internal/external conflicts? Explain.

Answer:

1. Did plagues reduce the population to the point it could not sustain itself?

Plagues did reduce the population, but not to the point it couldn't sustain itself the plague was like a bee sting to the empire. It hurt but it didn't make it fall.

2.Did civil wars lessen the strength of the empire and weaken the population?

In the begging it helped quite a bit, but when men started dying the empire was no longer safe and they were losing strength and the empire was becoming weak.

3. Did the army lose its discipline and thus endanger the empire and cause it to be overrun?

Yes, but instead of being over run it made it easier for the goths and the Heruli to invade the south part of the Balkan Peninsula several times as well as making the Franks and Alemanni feel encouraged to plunder northern Gaul.

4. Did the citizens of Rome become too satisfied and lazy, allowing the empire to crumble due to neglect?

Yes, this was a pretty big issue to rome. The soldiers used to have to pay for the armor in war, but a new rule came upon making the state pay so the poor could fight as well this is only one reason but a pretty important reason it crumbled.

5. Did the empire bureaucracy become too top heavy, eventually causing the empire to collapse upon itself?

Yes, the leaders, emperors, and government all became too heavy headed and took advantage of their powers making the top half collapse.

6. Did it fall as the result of barbarian invasions?

Yes, partially because of them in 200 bce and partially because of other issues.

P.S. I will comment the other questions and answers on this answer.

Read the following passage then answer the (4) questions

Document A: Anti-federalists
(Melancton Smith)

[representatives] should be a true picture of the people, possess a knowledge of their circumstances and their wants, sympathize in all their distresses, and be disposed to seek their true interests....[T]he number of representatives should be so large, as that, while it embraces the men of the first class, it should admit those of the middling class of life. I am convinced that this government is so constituted that the representatives will generally be composed of the first class in the community, which I shall distinguish by the name of the natural aristocracy, of the country.
In every society, men of this [aristocratic] class will command a superior degree of respect; and if the government is so constituted as to admit but few to exercise the powers of it, it will, according to the natural course of things, be in their hands. Men in the middling class, who are qualified as the representatives, will not be so anxious as those of the first. When the number is so small, the office will be highly elevated and distinguished; the style in which the members live will probably be high; circumstances of this kind will render the place of a representative not a desirable one to sensible, substantial men, who have been used to walk in the plain and frugal paths of life....
A substantial yeoman, of sense and discernment, will hardly ever be chosen. From these remarks, it appears that the government will fall into the hands of the few and the great. This will be a government of oppression.... The great consider themselves above the common people, entitled to more respect, do not associate with them; they fancy themselves to have a right of preeminence in everything.
