Some had personal grudges, but most were acting to save the republic from Caesar's Dictatorship. Caesar had grown highhanded and arrogant in his dealings with the senate and many senators thought he was acting like a king or had ambitions to be a king, which was totally unacceptable to the Roman way of thinking. There was also a nasty rumor going around that Caesar was going to move the capitol to Alexandria. The conspirators acted, thinking they were saving the republic, but as it turned out, they contributed to its downfall.
