Answer:

When they stopped conquering people, they stopped taking slaves. Much of the rural economy was built around slavery and there was a pretty firm bias against allowing slaves to have children- the investment in raising a slave child not to mention the loss of productivity of the mother and the possible death or both mother and child during childbirth led slave owners to prohibit much breeding.  

Allowing slaves to have children and form family bonds also made them more likely to revolt- humans often fight harder for the rights of their children for their own.  

So, without a renewable source of slaves, it became very difficult to run farms and vineyards. Without profitable and productive agriculture, there were less taxes.  With less taxes, there were less funds to do civic improvements like maintaining aqueducts and roads and support standing armies.  

Emperors decided to raise taxes on everyone to make up the difference which led to the ruin of many private citizens and the marked increase in wealth of the nobility who were often exempt from many taxes (which they voted for, themselves, as senators) leaving them with the funds to buy up neighboring properties and essentially, their neighbors to work the land.  Feudalism grew out of a switch from a civic or community focus to a self or family focus.  

The Eastern Roman Empire maintained a strong base of taxation and a standing army for a thousand years after the fall of the West, but their economy wasn't nearly as dependent on slaves for labor. They survived by repeatedly reforming their style of government to suit the current needs without ever losing the power of the central government.

How did the ideas associated with the Great Awakening and the Enlightenment (including republicanism and liberalism) challenge t
romanna [79]

Answer:

The set of ideological premises of the War of Independence is very heterogeneous. For many years, traditionally the central place has been given to the Enlightenment by analogy with the usual view of the Enlightenment as the ideological basis of the French Revolution. However, in recent years, increasingly more attention of researchers has been attracted by changes in the mass consciousness of the colonists and the radicalization of religious life as a result of the first Great Awakening that swept all British colonies in North America in the 30-50s of the 18th century. and proceeding in parallel with the Enlightenment movement. For the first time, the inhabitants of the colonies, professing various religious views, experienced a general spiritual upsurge, a severe emotional shock. The liberating effect of religious renewal was experienced by both the top and the lower classes of colonial society, for whom “wild” exaltation meant a temporary release from everyday routine of hard work and gaining a vital core, confidence. The colonies had not seen anything like the Great Awakening in its scale and degree of influence on society.

It became the first movement in American history to be truly intercolonial in nature, contributing to the formation of a single religious and partly ideological space in British America. Awareness of the community of religious experiences gradually turned into an awareness of the community of interests. Becoming the first joint spiritual experience, the Great Awakening marked the beginning of the process of forming a community of colonists - the future American nation.
