CaesarGaius Iulius Caesar was murdered by members of the senate because he began acting like a king, a very dangerous thing to do in a recently repuclicenated republic.

Recent? The Republic was founded in 510 B.C. so it wasn't recent. It was because he was acting like a king, something that was frowned upon by fervent Republicans. He was appointed dictator for life, a position that contradicted the hallowed institutions that made Rome great.

The Senate didn't like his Political actions, it broke SPQR law. Theoretically the only time he could be a Dictator was for six months and for in a time of justice. Nothing was wrong with Rome at the time and he was elected Dictator for life which annoyed the Senate, resulting in his death.
