Constantine did not preserve nor ruin the Roman Empire. He ruled it. However because he happened to come to power in a pivotal time in history he is considered "Great". He receives most of his attention for his lifting of the ban on Christianity and his benevolent treatment of the Christians.

How did Rome fall?

The ancient Roman Empire fell because it was unable to logistically maintain its military supremacy in Europe. This was despite the de facto control of the government by military leaders in place of the Emperor. After the fall of Rome to Germanic mercenaries in 476 AD, the eastern or Byzantine Empire continued for another 1,000 years until conquered by the Ottomans in the 1400's.In Some DetailThe Western Roman Empire which was ruled by the City of Rome fell because of the lack of manpower to defend its borders from Barbarians who all wanted a piece of the Roman Land. Bad Emperor after Bad Emperor was put on the throne. Each Legion of the Roman Army wanted one of their own people on the throne. Finally, Constantine became Emperor and moved the Capital to Constantinople (modern day Istanbul). While this happened, the Western Empire was put into ruin. More and More often the Western Roman Empire was forced to make deals with the Barbarians who said that they would defend the Western Roman Empire if they were allowed to live in Roman territories.One day Alaric, leader of the Visigoth, realized that Roman Forces were spread thinly in the Empire and in AD 410 he and his Army began to cautiously move South and into Italy. The Romans might have just withdrawn to the Italian Peninsula and held that for another 100-200 years until they had the manpower to retake Europe. But instead, the Roman Army let the barbarians move unopposed through Italy. When they finally reached the city of Rome, they sacked the city. Other barbarians came and attacked the city, but the City of Rome finally stayed out of Roman hands when Romulus Augustus became Emperor of Rome. When Romulus was removed from power in 476 AD, the emperor Zeno of the Eastern Empire accepted the Germanic chieftain Odoacer as ruler of Italy. This marked the end of the Western Roman Empire. :P

What was considered a major cause of the fall of the roman empire?

The major cause of the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire was the invasions by the Germanic peoples. These peoples and two more Germanic peoples, who had been allowed to settle in parts of the empire and also took over lands in this part of the empire, eventually seized of all the lands of this part of the empire, except for Italy. At the end of this process, even Italy was taken over by the Ostrogoths, who were sent there by the eastern Roman Emperor to depose a usurper. The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years.
