Brutus, Cassius and the conspiracy killed Caesar. Cassius and the conspiracy killed him because they were jealous and they thought that he was going to be over-powering. Cassius persuades Brutus to kill Caesar with them because he says that it is for the country of Rome, but really it isn't. So they kill Caesar with the conspiracy and the story goes on.
They didn't kill him alone, but by 23 (or more) stabs by the entire senate group. Brutus and Cassius led the rebellion.

They killed him because they feared his growing power and he had taken away some of theirs. They didn't want a monarchy again.

They feared a monarchy because of the Etruscan kings.

The senate killed Julius Caesar because he was becoming so powerful and all the people loved him. He also was going to get get rid of the senate because he was so powerful and he didn't need them anymore. So they didn't want him to be a king,(since he was already the dictator) and go back to being a monarchy, and didn't want to lose their jobs so they called a meeting gathered around him and stabbed him in the back with knifes. Fun Fact: That's where the phrase "back stabber" comes from. He thought the senate was his friend, but they syabbed him in the back. (You have to trust me, I just learned this in Geography a week ago :D)
Brutus and Cassius and the others conspired to kill Caesar because Caesar had amassed too much power for one Roman. He had also been acting arrogant and authoritatively much like a king. The conspirators thought that they were saving the republic by eliminating Caesar,
Brutus entered the plot to kill Caesar basically because he was a Republican idealist. He saw Caesar being flattered and given more power almost daily. This, to his way of thinking, was monarchy and it went against all the principles of the Republic where the ruling was by Senate consultation and voting by the people.

Brutus wants to be loyal to Rome, without a single person ruling. He is more worried about the city and wants to kill Caesar so there will be no dictator. He believes Caesar to be too ambitious.

Brutus says, "It is not that I loved Caesar less/But that I loved Rome more." He also says, "As he was ambitious, I slew him."

Brutus feels that he has a duty to the state, and it is best that Rome is without Caesar for he might gain too much power and become a tyrant.

Why Is Julius Caesar the title of Julius Caesar?

The most important character in Julius Caesar is not Julius Caesar, but it is Marcus Brutus. The reason why Shakespeare put Julius Cesar as the title is simply because it was more appropriate. It is the killing of Julius Caesar, which supplies the motive for the play. The death of Julius Caesar takes place before the middle of the play, however, his spirit dominates the entire work. It is the spirit of Julius Caesar, alive or dead, that supplies the struggle for Brutus and fellow conspirators.
