He was the first to be deprived of his command, and the first to be reduced to the condition of a private citizen. The example of the emperor was followed by the other magistrates, and the whole administration of the empire was changed. The new system was established without any opposition, and the people, who had been so long accustomed to the tyranny of the emperors, were easily reconciled to the change. The new government was more equitable, and the taxes were more moderate. The people were relieved from the burden of the military service, and the empire enjoyed a period of peace and prosperity. - [Previous: c2.10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1944.c2.10) - [Next: c2.12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1944.c2.12) - [Up: c2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1944.c2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1944.c2.11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1944.c2.11) · Pramāṇa
