Cassius wanted Caesar dead because he believed Caesar's rise to power threatened the Roman Republic's principles of democracy and freedom. He saw Caesar as a dictator who would take away the Senate's power and establish a monarchy, which would limit the rights and influence of the Roman people. Cassius believed that killing Caesar was necessary to preserve the Republic and prevent tyranny.
