Question

Explain the reasoning behind Caesar's assassination. Why did the members of that conspiratorial group choose the date, place, and means they did?

Answer 1

Answer:

Brutus decides to join the conspiracy against Caesar after his realization to the fact that the Roman Republican government was in great danger. Caesar had himself declared himself dictator for life. (the ancient Roman position of dictator was defined as a necessary governmeantal position in times of crisis, not to be confused with the modern definition of dictator) However, Caesar's power grew ever stronger and Brutus saw this as tyrannical.The Senate to which Brutus was a member became nothing more than a puppet on the hand of Caesar.The love Brutus had towards the Republican principle and the sense of duty to secure that principle ultimately forces him to choose between a man he greatly admired and the political philosophy which was to serve the greater good. In his mind Brutus was doing what was "noble" and morally right, in this manner the assassination of Caesar had moral and political justification
