Caesar was made dictator by the senate. What he did was turn the democracy into an empire because it was the overall popular desire in Rome after it was made obvious that democracy had failed.

Yes, but he did march an army into Rome, unprecedented. I think the senate had no choice. Political expediency at the time. I wonder if all democracies will turn into dictatorships in time?

Yes. Democracy is an inherently unstable system. It never lasts.

They named him dictator before he marched into Rome.

Correct, but I bet they hoped his rival consul, Pompeius Magnus, would return with reinforcements and oust him.

Caesar was too popular.
