Brutus is concerned about Caesar's vanity and lust for power, which has resulted in his converting the Roman political system into a Dictatorship, quite literally, as Caesar was given the title "dictator". Brutus himself is an idealist and a believer in the less autocratic system of the Republic, to which his ancestor (the Brutus character in Shakespeare's play Coriolanus) had contributed. Because he was a traditionalist, he wanted to retain the old political system. Because he was an idealist, he believed that the old system would naturally reassert itself if Caesar and only Caesar were removed.
