the population of the empire decreased significantly.
the laws of the empire were organized into a comprehensive collection.
internal conflict and political riots were not a concern.
economic and cultural isolation led to decline of constantinople and surrounding cities.

Explanation:

Justinian the Great is known for organizing the laws of the Byzantine Empire into a comprehensive collection, the Corpus Juris Civilis (Body of Civil Law). This was a significant achievement. The population did not decrease significantly under his reign; in fact, there were efforts to maintain and improve the empire. Internal conflicts and political riots, like the Nika Riots, were a concern. And Constantinople and surrounding cities were centers of economic and cultural activity, not in decline due to isolation.

Answer:

The laws of the empire were organized into a comprehensive collection.
