Answer 2

Easiest of these to address is why Julius failed and Augustus didn't: Julius was too overt in his ambitions, wasn't helped by Marc Antony proclaiming him king, and rose to dictatorial power at a time when there remained coalitions of semi-powerful senators who were opposed to him. By making himself dictator for life, he effectively forced the Romans to think of tyranny, that one concept they tried to avoid at all costs. Augustus however was far more subtle, by and large due to his scarily effective propaganda machine. He took the title of princeps, simple meaning first citizen, keeping himself 'officially' on the same level as other citizens. He also made claims of restoring the old republican ways and morals, claims which were represented in art and literature of the period to make them ubiquitous and inescapable. He was also fairly lucky, as by 27 BC there really was no viable opposition to Augustus, they had either gone to live in Africa like Lepidus or died in the previous decades of civil war. Had there been a Pompey-like rival to Augustus, things may have turned out very different. As for impact, Augustus. Purely because his principate became the blueprint for that of a 'good emperor', and so not only does his system live on and evolve throughout the next 4 centuries after his death, it remains the hallmark of Rome's Golden Age and continues to be referred to in Roman literature long after his death.
