Caesar might have thought that Brutus joined the conspiracy because he disliked Caesar himself, though that was not true. Brutus loved and respected Caesar and was a very dear friend to him, so killing Caesar was a very difficult thing for Brutus to do; though Brutus did that for the sake of Rome because he believed that Caesar would have nothing but a bad influence towards the people of Rome. So, Brutus' motivations for joining the conspiracy were to unwillingly murder Caesar but save Rome itself. After all, Brutus turned out to be more loyal to Rome than to Caesar!
Brutus felt that Cicero was afraid that a Roman Civil War might ensue following the assassination of Julius Caesar. Although Brutus acknowledged that Cicero wanted a return to the old days of the Roman Republic, he felt that Cicero was too easily pressurised by Mark Antony into retaining the system of Imperial Government and could not be depended upon as a trusted ally. Basically, Brutus suspected that Cicero's weak resilience might lead him to become a spy within those who wished to kill Julius Caesar, and was a potential threat to the plot.
Brutus is concerned that Caesar's power and authority are reaching those of a king. He does not believe this to be a good thing for Rome--back in ancient history, Rome had kings but they were very unsuccessful and unpopular and were deposed by a popular revolt in favour of a republic. Brutus's ancestor was one of the leaders of that revolt, so there is a little family pride wrapped up in his motivations as well.

Cicero.
Brutus doesn't think that Cicero should be part of the conspiracy because Cicero could not stand to be a part of anything unless he had started it himself. Yeah, I've met people like that too.
