Solution

The statement that best summarizes the effect of expansion on the social system of the Roman Empire is "increased tension arose between the rich and poor classes". As the Roman Empire expanded, it incorporated a variety of different cultures and peoples. This led to a greater disparity in wealth and status, as the rich became richer through conquest and the poor often became poorer, leading to increased social tension.
