He had basically consolidated all the power of the empire into himself. He had forced the Senate into appointing him for Dictator for life. He was the pontiffs maximus, leader of the State Church, the Republic was all but over for Rome, and they killed him to try and restore the Republic. They fail, as Caesar's nephew became all powerful and was the first Caesar. The title was used later in Germany as Kaiser and in Russia with Czar.

He became a threat because he took power from the Senate and undermined the influence of the patrician upper class by empowering foreigners and the plebes.
Therefore he needed to be eliminated.

Rome had been for many years a republic, and prided itself on its democratic traditions. Caesar took all power for himself and became Rome's dictator. Most Senators considered him a tyrant, thus Brutus' famous words as he plunged in the knife "Sic semper tyrannis!" (Thus always to tyrants!)

hubris, he was stretching the Roman Empire way too far and felt he was a God, the position of Caesar was considered 1/2 man, 1/2 God, it's like a Roman king
