Brutus is an honorable man. He does not deisre to kill unless it is absolutely necessary. He doesn't want to kill Antony because he believes that Caesar is the only threat to Rome's security, and that Antony cannot do anything without Caesar around. They were only concerned with stopping Caesar from becoming a king.
He doesnt want to kill Marc Antony because he doesnt want it to seem as if these conspirators wanted to just kill these political leaders. Brutus believed that it was only necessary to kill Caesar. The reason for that is Brutus thought Rome should remain a republic. ("Antony is but a limb of Caesar)
Also, he thinks that it is too brutal to kill Antony along with Caesar.

Why did Cicero wanted to give Mark Antony power?
Cicero never wanted to give Marc Antony anything least of all power. They were bitter enemies. Cicero executed Antony's stepfather without a trial and later gave a series of scathing speeches against Antony called the Philippics. Also, it was well known that Antony was a close ally of Caesar. When Caesar was assassinated in the Senate, by luck, Brutus did not include Antony on the Senate's death list. That was why Antony insisted that Cicero be included in the proscriptions that the triumvirate ordered and had his head and his hands nailed to the rostra in the forum.

Why does Marc Antony go to war against Brutus and Cassius if Brutus has told Antony not to tell the Roman plebeians not to blame the conspirators?
Because Antony had no intention of allowing Brutus and Cassius to get away with murdering Antony's friend Caesar, or with impeding Antony's desire to become as powerful a ruler as Caesar was. He didn't give a hoot what Cassius and Brutus told him to do; he agreed with them temporarily because they were a dozen dangerous men holding bloody knives, but had every intention of breaking his word the moment he could.
Why does brutus allow Antony to speak at caesars funeral?
Brutus feels that it is only right to let Antony speak, because he was so close to Caesar and the only way that the conspirators can ever repay him in any way is to let him give a speech at Caesar's funeral.

According to Antony's speech Brutus characterized Caesaar as?
Anthony tricks Brutus into letting him give a soliloquy at Caesar's funeral. He uses the opportunity to sarcastically implicate Brutus and Cassius in Caesar's murder. He says that Brutus considered Caesar "ambitious" using his speech to use Brutus' own words against him.
What point is Antony making when he was speaking against Brutus and the conspirators?
If you mean his "Friends! Romans! Countrymen!" speech, he is not so much making a point as crying havoc and loosing the dogs of war, as he said he would. The speech is a remarkable appeal to the emotions of the Roman mob, not to their reason. When you sneer sarcastically "and sure, he is an honourable man" the emotional response of the hearer is to agree "right, he is no honourable man" without thinking. Brutus is certainly an honourable man; Antony himself says so at the end of the play after Brutus is dead and no longer a threat. Antony is not making a point, but trying to get the mob into an irrational rage which will hunt the conspirators out of the city and give Antony the opportunity to replace Caesar as dictator.

I don't totally remember but, i think the plebeians reacted by stabbing someone. I think Julius Caesar
