Why did the Roman empire fall?
The Romans were corrupt
They stopped representing the public's wishes
The last reason was Rome went bankrupt.
The Roman senate was very corrupt, they were being dishonest an unfair. The senate became extremely corrupt and political instability came into existance. Officials would offer positions in office for those who could pay a lump sum of money. They accepted bribes in exchange for favours of a wide assortment. A series of very crazy Emperors were elected and the Plebians suffered as a result. Civil revolts sprung up, lead by rebellious citizens.
High taxes was another issue which wasn't resolved easily. It caused distress and anxiousness among many classes in Ancient Rome. The Senators were very strict with the Particaians and they practiced skills that persuaded the other memebers. The senate came up with and enforced laws without even talking to the citizens.
Rome depended on its empire for funds, it became very poor and had trouble coping economically. Rome had nothing to trade, and couldn't rebuild itself. In any war you need money to be victorious. Soon enough, other cities within the Empire stopped sending funds to Rome and they went bankrupt.
