Caesar instituted some constitutional reforms, which were met with extreme resistance from the senate. Due to the trouble caused by some of the reforms, Caesar did not live long enough to experience what he had set in motion.
Caesar sought to strengthen the central government, which was in shambles and arrest the runaway corruption that came as a result of poor leadership. In addition, Caesar wanted to stop the chaos in the provinces and centralize the administration. To achieve these reforms, Caesar increased his authority and restricted the authority exercised by other institutions. For instance, he appointed his close associates to the senate. Caesar was also successful in weakening individual magistrates by increasing the number of elected magistrates. The new positions created were also skewed to reward his supporters.
Apart from political reforms, Caesar also improved the social and economic welfare of the Roman people. He established a housing program for the poor and eased the financial burden imposed on the masses through taxation. He also proposed infrastructural projects to facilitate economic growth.
