The people as in the Plebians likely weren't unhappy during Gaius Julius Caesar's time. He was a populist, meaning that he addressed the needs of common people, often against the Senate's wishes. That is how he amassed his power, largely.
The Senate was unhappy with him for this very reason. He was undermining their power by appealing to the people, and ignoring the Senate's demands. They felt he was gaining a lot of political clout unchecked. When he named himself dictator perpetuo (dictator for life), they were outraged at his audacity, and had him killed. Dictators were, by law, only allowed to be elected by the Senate and only in times of extreme distress for six months at a time, then had to step down. So for Gaius Julius to come in and name himself dictator with no approval, that was a big scandal.
Thus, they had him killed.
