    • Knightship

    • Barter System

    • Feudalism

    Correct Answer
    A. Feudalism
    Explanation
    Feudalism is a system of government based on land ownership/control that bound people to each other through promises of loyalty. In this system, the king or lord granted land to vassals in exchange for their loyalty and military service. The vassals, in turn, granted smaller portions of land to knights or peasants who would work the land and provide them with goods or services. This hierarchical structure created a system of mutual obligations and dependence between the different classes of society.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Weakening Frontiers: The hudge size of the empire made it nearly impossible to defend
    A. Economic Problems: Too expensive to finance large armies (Heavily taxed people to do this). Slave labor destroyed the middle class (not enough jobs for non slaves)
    A. Political instability: Could not peacefully transfer leadership. New leaders were often chosn who were not qualified. Corruption
    Explanation
    The collapse of the Roman Empire can be attributed to several factors. The hudge size of the empire made it difficult to defend, leading to weakening frontiers. Additionally, economic problems arose as it became expensive to finance large armies, resulting in heavy taxation of the people. Slave labor further contributed to economic issues by destroying the middle class and creating a lack of job opportunities for non-slaves. Political instability also played a role, as the empire struggled to peacefully transfer leadership and often ended up with unqualified leaders. Corruption further exacerbated these problems.
