Cicero wanted to defend and preserve the constitution of the Roman Republic, its traditions and the freedoms he felt it guaranteed. He was also opposed to the popupares, a political faction which championed the cause of the poor and wanted reforms to help the poor. Cicero was a supporter of the aristocracy. Cicero was also a staunch upholder of morality. His writings on ethics were influential for centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire. He was also famous for his vitriolic attacks of a Governor of Sicily he prosecuted for corruption.
