Answer 1

The most accurate response is:

**After Caesar’s death, Augustus expanded the powers of Rome’s leader.**

Caesar’s assassins aimed to restore the Roman Republic and reduce the concentration of power in a single leader. However, after Caesar's death, Augustus, his adopted heir, ultimately established an even stronger autocratic rule, which went against the assassins' intentions.
