Things like killing the ruler of Rome and throwing the whole empire into turmoil. For their argument they argued that because they loved Rome so much, that is why they had to kill Caesar because they could not have a ruler over Rome.

Brutus and Cassius had the right idea in trying to protect the republic but they didn’t think it through enough and that is where their plan failed. Caesar was given a crown three times and the people wanted him to have it, but all three times he rejected it to look good in front of the people.

Buckingham had too much influence with the King; this meant he was seen as one of the main causes to the break down in parliament. James wanted money from the Parliament in 1625 because of the war with Spain. Parliament decided to grant a tonnage and poundage as the monarch’s main source of Revenue. Opposition MPs discussed Parliament choosing the Kings ministers for him and also the impeachment of those who gained undue influence over him; this was especially aimed at Buckingham. A breakdown in parliament then occurred because Charles realized the parliamentary attack on Buckingham was increasing so in 1625 dissolved his first Parliament in order to protect his close companion.

The Punic Wars: Long-Term Changes to the New Roman Empire The Punic Wars saw a number of important changes to the Roman Republic. These changes had both immediate and long-term effects that transform the Roman Republic into the powerful Roman Empire. The most obvious of these was the major expansion throughout the Mediterranean Sea during the Punic Wars. This growth therefore aided many social, cultural and political changes that allowed the Roman Empire to hold its immense power until the 5th century AD. Key changes include a shift in political guidance and wealth, the peasant community was altered and many began moving to the cities to look for work and food and Greek culture spread throughout the newly acquired provinces.
The first major difference was regarding the conspiracy to dethrone the false Smerdis/ Bardiya. In Herodotus’ Histories, we learn that Cambyses killed his brother Smerdis because of a dream he had that a messenger from Persia came to him with tidings that Smerdis sat upon the royal throne and with his head touched the heavens; with this he believed his brother would likely kill him and rule in his stead (3.30.2-3). We also learn that while Cambyses was in Egypt, two Magi brothers revolted against him. One of the Magians looked like Smerdis, and had the same name; and he called himself king; his brother Patizeithes, whom Cambyses left behind to take care of his household, was the mastermind behind the plan. Hearing this, Cambyses intended to rush back to Persia, but when he leaped upon his horse, the tip of his sword scabbard fell off and exposed the blade, which stabbed his thigh, and he eventually dies from the injury (3.61.1- 3.64.5).
They said it because they were trying to get away from where they were because they had just scammed a group of people and they had to leave before they were caught. They also lied to Huck and Jim and told them that they were kings, and they had to listen to them because they were royalty. In the end the duke and dauphin ended up selling Jim for the money without Huck knowing anything about it and when Huck found out that the duke and dauphin sold Jim he was devastated and wanted to go and save Jim right away. Another example of obsession with material wealth would be when duke and dauphin pretended to be Mary Jane’s uncles and her late father’s brothers, just so they could steal the money that they heard Mary Jane’s had from her father. They pretended to have a French accent, and duke pretended to be a preacher.
