Answer:
d. was assassinated by leading senators convinced his death would restore the republic.
Explanation:
Julius Caesar had the title of "dictator for life" by the time he was assassinated by three senators: Marcus Junius Brutus, Cassius Longinus and Decimus Junius Brutus in 44 BC. He was stabbed to death in a theater, and several other senators were conspirators.
The goal of the senators was to re-establish the republic, however, they were ineffective in achieving this goal, and what broke out next was a civil war that ended when Augustus finally took power and became the first Roman Emperor.
A couple of weeks before the Battle of New Orleans, the U.S. and British governments had negotiated and signed a peace treaty that put an effective end to the war between the two countries. Given that news from Europe took about a month to reach the U.S., both the U.S. soldiers led by General Andrew Jackson and the Red Coats led by General Sir Edward Pakenham was a pointless confrontation. A few weeks after the resounding U.S. victory (only 13 men were killed on the U.S. side and 285 on the British side), Jackson and his men got news of the peace treaty signed before their feat of arms.
The Battle of Lexington began on April 19, 1775 when Paul Revere arrived to Lexington, a town, and warned the minutemen there that "the British were coming". The British were ordered to arrest the rebels that did not want to pay the heavy taxes, but ended up becoming a war and eventually led to the American Revolution.
