Why did the senators decide to assassinate Julius Caesar? They wanted more power for themselves. They wanted to replace him with Marcus Brutus. They were worried he had grown too powerful. He refused to bring Cimber’s brother back from exile.

They were worried he had grown too powerful.

The senators saw Caesar's growing power. They had just rebelled against an emperor to restore the republic, and didn't like Caesar's power grabs. Brutus had to choose loyalty or morality, and chose to assassinate a trusted friend in the name of his beliefs.
