He was making himself too powerful, and making the senates less powerful. He would give the lower class of Romans what they wanted so they would vote for him. Senates became very angry and stabbed him 27-37 times.
Caesar's actions angered many Roman senators because he concentrated power in his own hands, undermining the Republic's traditional political structures. His appointment as dictator for life and the accumulation of honors and titles threatened the senators' influence and the balance of power. Additionally, his popularity with the masses and military loyalty created fears among the elite that he could bypass or eliminate them altogether, leading to a loss of their status and control. Ultimately, these factors contributed to the perception that he was becoming a tyrant, prompting the senators to act against him.
The Senate viewed Julius Caesar as a threat due to his increasing power and popularity, which they feared undermined the Republic's democratic principles. His military successes and the loyalty of his troops made him a formidable figure, leading to concerns that he might establish a dictatorship. Additionally, his appointment as "dictator for life" in 44 BCE alarmed many senators, who worried he would abolish the Senate's authority and eliminate political competition. This culminated in the conspiracy that led to his assassination.
The assassination of Julius Caesar, which occurred on this day in 44 B.C., known as the Ides of March, came about as a result of a conspiracy by as many 60 Roman senators. Led by Gaius Cassius Longinus and Marcus Junius Brutus, they fatally stabbed Caesar in Rome, near the Theatre of Pompey.
At the time of the rift between Octavian and Marc Antony, there were 600 members of the Senate. The headcount of the senators generally hovered around that number during the Empire. Julius Caesar had increased the number from 600 to 900 during his rule.
He was making himself too powerful, and making the senates less powerful. He would give the lower class of Romans what they wanted so they would vote for him. Senates became very angry and stabbed him 27-37 times.
It was thought by many in the Senate that Julius Caesar was becoming too powerful, and that he had dreams of kingship and ultimate power. This was a(nother) major threat to the stability of the Empire and would have reduced or removed the power of the Senators themselves. The group of senators who stabbed Caesar were led by Brutus and Cassius. Brutus was descended from the Brutus who was one of the first consuls of Rome and played a large part in driving out the Tarquins, the last kings of Rome. So understandably he was a staubch Republican, and as Caesar made himself 'dictator for life' this would be seen to be wanting to be made king, which couldn't be tolerated. So Caesar was killed in the name of the Republic and liberty.
Caesars was assassinated by a group of senators led by Marcus Junius Brutus the Younger and Gaius Cassius Longinus.

In ancient Rome Julius Caesar was a general of the Roman Republic, whose sole ambition of power let him have many enemies of the Senate including one of the best Generals of Rome, Pompey Magnus. The common folk loved Caesar cause he established a new Economy for the people, once again there was safety on the streets and the markets loomed with new slaves and wealth, the Roman Republic was on his knees but Caesar rose to meet the challenge and took all power from a corrupted Senate, thus leading him to have many enemies.

Once the news reached the peoples ear, Brutus and several other Senators had to run from Rome in search for shelter, the people loved Caesar so much the named a Month after him July. The Senators who murder Caesar were chased and eliminated.
Because we are uninformed idiots and we hate anyone different.
That all depended on whether you were a pleb (commoner) or a noble. The nobles believed that Caesar posed a great threat to Rome as he was a very powerful person. One concept the nobles did not appreciate was the contempt Caesar displayed for Roman traditions. Caesar broke many traditions that were set by the Roman senate, including the depiction of people on the currency.After Caesar was classed as Dictator Perpetuus, the nobles feared that Caesar would stake a claim as king. This was not received very well as kingship had been abolished many years before Caesar had been declared dictator.Things such as the above points led to the nobles forming a group of conspirators that killed Caesar on the Ides of March in 44 BC.

There were many famous Roman orators and senators, but the one that comes to mind first is Cicero. Cato the Elder and Cato the Younger were both senators and orators. Julius Caesar could be included in the group and also Marc Antony.
When Caesar crossed the Rubicon with his troops, he was violating the law. The Senate had ordered him not to do so, and it was illegal for a commander to bring an army into the precincts of Rome. This made him enemies on top of the ones he already had. His former ally, Pompeii, was sent out to stop him. Many senators feared that Caesar was setting himself up as a king.
