He promoted adequate structures to preserve the unity of the Church, as a way of preserving the unity of the state and legitimizing its monarchical configuration, without excluding other religious motivations of a personal nature. The 330 changed the capital of the empire from Rome to Byzantium, which he called Constantinople, which meant a break with tradition, despite wanting to emphasize the aspect of Christian capital, he also thought that with this change he could strengthen the presence of the empire in the East which was in decline while in the West, Rome had a fairly solid establishment. So, the correct anwer is A. He believed eastern roman power was on the decline, while western roman power was on the rise.
