Okay, your question needs a twofold answer. First of all the Roman republic and the Roman empire were different entities. The Republic was/is a form of government; an empire is a large holding of some sort. The two are not identical. And no, Julius Caesar did not bring down the Roman republic. The republic had been dying or even considered dead since at least the time of the first triumvirate. Caesar merely was fortunate enough to take advantage of the opportunities that opened up for him.
No, Brutus was drawn into the conspiracy because he was an idealist. He genuinely felt that Caesar was holding too much power and that the republic would be better without him. He also thought that the general public would be grateful to the conspirators for ridding them of Caesar, so little did he know about the reality of matters.No, Brutus was drawn into the conspiracy because he was an idealist.

We do not know whether Caesar wanted to save the republic or, as his assassins thought, wanted to become a king. If the former was the case, it is difficult to assess whether his reforms would have been enough and we do not know whether Caesar would have changed their course because some of them came in the context of protracted civil war. What would have mattered the most, had Caesar not been killed, would have been his charisma and enormous popularity among the Roman people.
The conspirators thought he would try to end the Roman Republic which he did. His heir Octavius took up the mantle after Caesar was murdered and became emperor.
It was not that Brutus was necessary for the conspiracy, even though, along with his brother-in-law Gaius Cassius Longinus, he was its leader. It was Julius Caesar giving the impression that he wanted to become a king which was necessary. It was this which persuaded the conspirators, including Brutus, to plot against Caesar. This would have ended the Roman Republic. Moreover, the republicans equated a king with tyranny.

Caesar died because the senators of the Roman Republic feared the Caesar would become too powerful and become King of Rome.
Cassius wanted Caesar dead because he believed Caesar's rise to power threatened the Roman Republic's principles of democracy and freedom. He saw Caesar as a dictator who would take away the Senate's power and establish a monarchy, which would limit the rights and influence of the Roman people. Cassius believed that killing Caesar was necessary to preserve the Republic and prevent tyranny.
This must be reffering to that assignment regarding Brutus and Caesar....
Caesar did not bring Jesus any gifts as he probably did not know of His birth and if he somehow knew he would not have honored a king with gifts. Caesar considered himself above all persons.

Julius Caesar was assassinated because he had gained too much power for one man. He was a dictator and was acting like one. The conspirators thought they were saving the republic. With Caesar's death, they thought that the government would once again be a genuine republic ruled according to Roman law and custom.

Julius Caesar was killed because the conspirators thought that it was the only way to save the republic. Caesar's attitude and actions had become overbearing to some and assassination seemed to be the only way to be rid of him.
