They want Brutus to help them.
One of the senators closest to Julius Caesar, Brutus is highly principled and committed to what is best for Rome. When Caesar returns to the city after a successful military campaign, the citizens of Rome seem ready to offer him the position of emperor. Brutus wants to see Rome remain a republic and does not support the idea that Caesar should be named emperor. When Cassius asks Brutus to join the plot to assassinate Caesar, Brutus weighs his friendship with the leader against what he believes to be best for Rome. This is the basis of Brutus's internal conflict. Ultimately, Brutus decides that the needs of the republic supersede those of Caesar, and he takes part in the assassination of Caesar on the steps outside the Roman Senate.

Brutus agrees to go along with the plot because he thinks that it will honestly be better for the Roman Republic.
Casca
Cassius convinces Brutus to join the plot to assassinate Julius Caesar by appealing to Brutus's sense of honor and patriotism and by highlighting Caesar's growing power and ambition. Cassius also plays on Brutus's fear that Caesar's power will diminish the Roman Republic.
Cassius!
I'm not sure about this but I think he did.
The conspiracy in Julius Caesar is moved forward in Scene 2 when Brutus is given fake letters. He then joins the conspiracy.
he is essential to Cassius because he cant do it by himself he does not have enough power or strength to get all the plans sorted out.
his name would help to make the assassination plot into something worthy and virtuous.
Cassius & the rest of the conspirators were eager to have Brutus' support because he was honored by many people at the time; they thought that this would give their cause more merit. Also, they figured people wouldn't be as quick to question their motives if an honest man like Brutus was involved.
In Shakespeare's play, Cassius is sounding Brutus out to see if he is sympathetic to the plot against Caesar.
Julius Caesar knew a guy called Brutus because he had an affair with Brutus' mother and Brutus would sometimes go to Julius' house. A rumour then began that Brutus wanted to kill a politician called Pompey, Julius helped Brutus out saying it was all a lie. Then in 44BC(the year Julius was killed), Brutus was part of a plot to murder Julius. Brutus played a major role, distracting Julius so someone could stab him in the neck.
