The Roman people did not want a dictator or a king. Do you think Augustus and the emperors that followed him were any different?

I think that some People such as the Senates did not want a King because they knew that he would turn out to be an egoistic and more powerful wanting person.Others wanted someone to lead the city. Such as Caesar, everyone wanted him and he was getting so powerful that the Senates knew what they had to do. They had to do, they had to kill Caesar, because he was getting to powerful and ego. Although Augustus was the other name for Caesar.
