Yes. Rome fell when virtue waned and power corrupted the many; if America abandons civic virtue and equality, it treads the same path.
No. Rome fell from oppression and corruption; America can still endure. We prove virtue by abolishing slavery, expanding education, and securing equal rights for all.
Virtue is a compass, not a chain; nations endure through craft, science, and shared effort. America can renew itself with education, invention, and civic collaboration, not decline.
Yes. Rome fell when virtue waned and power corrupted the many. A republic endures when strong institutions hold virtue and citizens keep duty over spectacle.
