The decline of the Roman Empire was caused by military and economic factors, rather than social problems. It was caused by the Crisis of the Third Century, a fifty-year period of military anarchy. Military commanders were proclaimed emperors by their own troops. These were challenged by other military commanders hailed emperors by their own troops. There was a lot of infighting. Many emperors were murdered, sometimes by their troops which had elevated them as emperors because they did not want to fight a civil war. There were also several usurper emperors. Two parts of the empire broke away until Aurelian reunited the empire. In addition to this there were invasions into the eastern part of the empire by the Goths and Heruli and raids into the western part by the Franks and Alemanni. The Roman army managed to fend these off, but it became overstretched. All this fighting exacted a heavy toll on the economy, especially in the frontier provinces of the empire.
In addition to the devastation of war, there was the problem of hyperinflation, which had been caused by repeated debasement of the Roman coins to fund the military and war. The precious metal content of the gold and silver coins was repeatedly decreased until this content became minimal. The coins became worthless and this led to hyperinflation, which crippled the economy of the empire.
The social problems of this period were the product of the military and economic factors which led to the decline of the empire, rather than a cause. It has to be noted that after this period of instability and decline, the Roman empire both stabilised politically and recovered economically, even though economically it did not do so fully.

Why was it an important change that Roman soldiers no longer had to own property to serve in military by the beginning of the 1st century BC?

The change was important as it eased social problems. It gave the poor and unemployed a steady income for several years and a man had the possibility of retiring wealthy.The change was important as it eased social problems.

How did slavery weaken the roman republic?

Slavery never weakened the Roman republic or any other form of government. Do not be misled into thinking that ancient slavery was the same as modern slavery. Every society in the ancient world had a system of slavery which was vital to their culture. The ancients considered slavery a social class or more correctly, a social underclass. The physical strength, mental abilities and expertise in the sciences, such as medicine and architecture helped built the great empires and civilizations. The Romans appreciated the abilities of their slaves and for the most part treated them well with every slave having the opportunity to either buy or be granted freedom if they chose. It is a mistake to judge ancient slavery by our present day standards or to impose our present day mores on the ancients.
