This from a group of slave owners. In one statement you prove Roscoe's point. One may have read the documents, but that is far from an understanding of the ideal.

voter qualification?
1) English comprehension
2) Chattel
3) if your paid by government, you don't vote. (yes, I know way out there, but think of the ramifications if those who benefit the least from paying taxes were to be responsible for the payout of said taxes.... reminds me of a tea party in Boston)

There are some adherents to single factors, but more people think Rome fell because of a combination of such factors as Christianity, decadence, lead, monetary, and military problems. Even the rise of Islam is proposed by some who think the Fall of Rome happened at Constantinople in the 15th Century.
Here are some of the explanations for the Fall of Rome:
* Decay
* Financial Problems
* The Dole and Barbarians
* Economic, Military, Gradual
* Christianity
* Vandals and Religious Controversy
* Division of the Empire
* Lead
* Hoarding and Deficit
