Part 1: The three greatest internal problems that could lead to the fall of the United States are the decreasing of morales and values, political corruption, and increasing unemployment.
Part 2:
1. Decline in Morales and Values - Many people really did not care about themselves during the Roman Empire and therefore tried to drink until they got ill, do stupid things to get themselves hurt, and cheer on violence whenever they could. With so many people not caring about themselves or their civilization, the Roman Empire could easily fall and no one would even care. We in the United States also do this, but a little differently. Some people in our country also do not care about the health of themselves and drink until they are ill. Furthermore, almost everyone in our country also cheers on violence whether it is by playing violent video games, watching violent shows, or even playing with fake guns all of the time. With so many people having declines in their morales and values, the USA might eventually fall just like the Roman Empire did because of their declines in morales and values.
2. Military Corruption - The Roman Empire had major problems in their military including the soldiers having just stupid arguments about everything. Every moment of each day the soldiers would be fighting with each other or just lay around and do nothing. Their slacking military would allow easy access to the Empire by invaders. If those invaders got in, thanks to the slacking military, they would easily be able to take the empire over because in the center of the empire, Rome would have no protection. A similar thing is also happening in the United States with the military. The United States is having problems with military spendings. These spendings could completely crash our economy as a whole, and if we needed money for education or something else, we would not have enough money to support it because we spent it all on the military. Why we as a country are spending all of our money on the government, other countries could be spending all of their money on educations, and with those educations, they could become smarter than us and learn how to conquer us. If they conquer us, I would consider the USA as fallen just as the Roman Empire fell thanks to their military issues.
3. Political Corruption - During the Roman Empire, the population was growing at a very high speed, and that caused for the government to create new harsh laws so they could keep all of their people in line. This caused the people to become angry and rebel the laws because they wanted freedom, and they thought that the newly created laws were going against their personal freedoms. Now the government had to make a choice, either to take off the laws and let them run freely throughout the empire, or keep the laws and have people constantly rebel on the current government. Either way it was a loss. With that huge political corruption the empire could easily fall. The USA is also facing this problem. We are starting to become overpopulated, so with more people, we need more laws, and with all of the laws people will rebel, and with all of the rebellions the empire will be open to fall just like the Roman Empire fell because of the same type of political corruption.
