  3. Why Did the Roman Empire Fall? • PLAGUES reduced the population. • LEAD PIPES and utensils poisoned the aristocracy, lowering their birth-rate and intelligence level of this most important class. • The admission of INFERIOR RACES to the citizenship lowered the vigor of the Pure Roman Stock. • CHRISTIANITY made people less concerned with this world. • CIVIL WARS sapped the strength of the Empire.

  4. Failure to establish a workable CONSTITUTION. • The ARMY got out of hand due to lowering of standards of discipline. • The State collapsed under the weight of its bureaucracy. • Abandonment of the old religion, which had given moral strength to the Roman People. • As the State became more despotic, the average citizen, and even members of the Upper Classes, became less interested in it, thereby causing a LOSS OF CONFIDENCE and support.
