The greek democratic system. And rome "fell" partially due to Rome itself (power-wise) splitting in two and forming the byzantine empire. Also the rise of christianity and various religious reasons had a play in it.

rome fell because the barbarian hordes took over parts of the kingdom. it can be likened to the 'balkinization' of the US now. flood of illegal immigrants from various nations that REFUSE to speak english, demand free services and spit on our flag. once i saw DMV and election forms printed in 20 different languages i knew this country was over.
won't be long til the US falls as well. revolutions are fun..ha ha ha....

Rome was a welfare state. It prospered by conquering new lands and taxing them to support itself. Ultimately it ran out of new lands - spread itself too thin.
