His decrees would've made him unchallengeable in the government, and some had even said it made him a new pharaoh.
After his decrees were made public, the country was racked with violent protests.
Two people were killed in them and over five hundred were injured.
Morsi backed down Monday night, after judges and lawyers throughout the country went on strike, for a second straight day, in protest of his illegal moves.
Late Monday it was announced that Morsi and the Supreme Judicial Council had come to an agreement on things.
No details were released other than that Morsi would not be usurping the powers he had said he would.
Supporters, of the President, said that Tuesday would see protests from them, but they've now cancelled those plans.
