What were the reasons for the decline of the dynasty?
1. The division of land from fathers among the sons of farmers declined with each generation so the farmers were unable to sell enough food or feed his family.
a. they needed to borrow money from wealthy landowners who charged ridiculously high interest rates. b. If they could not pay back then their land would go to the wealthy landowner.
2. since the wealthy landowners didn't have to pay taxes and the famers didn't have much land the amount of taxes the government could get from the farmer's land declined.
3. The government pressed hard on the farmers to collect the money for taxes and the gap between rich and poor increased.
4. From 32 B.C to A.D 9, inexperienced emperors ruled which caused chaos such as peasant revolts in China.
