Political Corruption

By: Grace Schuck

Political corruption was a major factor in the falling of the Roman Empire. For example, unlike the Greek, the Romans never created a real system to help choose their emperor; they just handed the decision over to the Praetorian Guard, the emperor's private army.   During 100 years, Rome had 37 emperors and 25 of them where assassinated. One emperor was even strangled by the army. This "system" was unfair and the people did not respect it because they did not have have a say in the decision. It also gave complete power to one party that could have been bribed when choosing a leader. Because of this, the people's disrespect turned into hatred and violence, leading to the assassination of  the 25 emperors.
