Which of the following is not a reason that small societies can maintain stability in the long term better than larger societies?

Smaller societies can often maintain stability with less demand on resources, effective internal controls, and strong interpersonal relationships. They generally rely less—not more—on formal legislation and military forces than larger societies do. Therefore, “Smaller societies rely more heavily on legislation and military forces” is not a reason they may maintain long-term stability better.
