Which was not an issue that led to the decline of the Roman Empire? A. low taxes on Roman citizens B. attacks from barbarian tribes C. cruel and incompetent emperors D. epidemics of foreign diseases

OpenStudy (soullesseyes):

D would kill a lot of people. A LOT back then. It isn't right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C

OpenStudy (soullesseyes):

No, a bad leader can kill all the followers. If the Emperor made a bad choice, such as "Guard that wall" instead of the wall getting invaded...everyone dies.

OpenStudy (surana):

Somehow I think that the fourth wasn't really an issue for them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or A

OpenStudy (surana):

As far as I remember, emperors with mean streaks and morality issues (and being bad at the job) were the downfall of the Roman Empire.

OpenStudy (soullesseyes):

THeeeerree we go. Taxes wouldn't kill anyone..it would kill their money though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yea :D

OpenStudy (soullesseyes):

Surana, it's asking what is NOT a reason.

OpenStudy (surana):

That's why I think it's the fourth you should choose.

OpenStudy (soullesseyes):

Diseases easily killed people back then. They had bad hygiene and it would cause chaos all over for years possibly. It could EASILY take down an empire.
