He established a coalition of rule between himself as Pinceps (First Citizen) and the Senate, eliminating the popular assemblies. The Senate nominated successor princeps, however with the frontier provinces which contained the army under control of the Princeps, the Senate was constrained to appoint a Princeps' nominated successor. With the support of Augustus' wife Livia (who assassinated him to get him out of the way for her son) Tiberius was clearly the next, and other relatives followed.
I wish I could answer you, but i have to answer the same question for my homework right now :P
Dynasty
The abbasids were rulers of the Islamic Empire back in the 700s to 1200s.
The Empire of Songhai came to an end primarily due to internal strife and external pressures. A succession of weak rulers led to political instability, while the empire's vast size made it difficult to govern effectively. Additionally, the Moroccan invasion in 1591, equipped with firearms, significantly weakened Songhai military power, leading to its eventual conquest. These factors combined resulted in the fragmentation of the empire and its decline.

Family
The Seleucid Empire is often regarded as more of a dynasty than a traditional empire due to its strong familial ties and the central role of the Seleucid royal family in governance. Founded by Seleucus I Nicator after the death of Alexander the Great, the empire was characterized by a succession of rulers from the Seleucid lineage, who often prioritized dynastic interests over broader imperial cohesion. This dynastic focus led to internal conflicts, such as succession crises and power struggles among relatives, which undermined the stability and unity of the empire. Consequently, the personal ambitions of the Seleucid rulers often took precedence over effective administration of the diverse territories within the empire.
There were several causes for the downfall of the Mauryan Empire. The partition of the Mauryan Empire to be split into two halves, a succession of weak Mauryan rulers, and Asoka completely disrupting the Mauryan administration with weak leadership led to the decline.
