Farmers planted more crops to make more money when crop prices fell. Why did this lower the prices even more?

more crops -> more food -> more competition among farmers to sell those crops -> lower prices -> less income -> less working farmers -> grows more crops to compensate -> repeat

hope this helps :)

the correct answer is history and tradition.

        i'm fairly sure that the correct answers are 2 and 3.

        i used both my knowledge of world history and the process of elimination to obtain these answers. option 1 cannot be a possible selection because the mandate of heaven belongs to ancient chinese philosophical belief. option 4 sounds like it would benefit the region than detriment it. however, both 2 and 3 explain a potential reason for what could have contributed to the fall of the roman empire.

      hope this ! if i were you, i'd get a second opinion, because i haven't taken this course for a year. best of luck!
