What law did Julius Caesar break?

I believe the answer you're looking for took place in 49 BC, when Caesar crossed the Rubicon. He had been serving in Gaul as a pro-consul, but was being prosecuted by Pompey and the senate. He marched to Rome to defend his honor, but had to cross the river Rubicon. It was forbidden for armies to march across the Rubicon: they could only cross by disbanding, thus protecting the city. Caesar was hesitant to make his decision; however, he crossed it and shouted out the famous words: Ale Iacta Est, or "The Die Has Been Cast". Hope this is what you were looking for!

What did Brutus accused Cassius of?

He says that Cassius has an "itching palm," and is corrupting their noble cause by resorting to extortion in order to gain wealth for their armies. He also, ironically, is angry because Cassius has not sent him money since Brutus can "raise no money by vile means." He seems most troubled by the fact that the nobility of their assasination seems to be threatened. He is also most likely less composed than he has been throughout the play because he has just received news of the death of his wife, Portia.
