Because, as he argues, "what other oath than honesty to honesty engaged, that this shall be, or we will fall for it?" It is the same argument put forward in the Epistle of James (James 5:12) in The Bible: "Do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or you will be condemned." In other words, if you are honest, what need is there for an oath?
That the murder of Caesar will be the oath.
The murder will be the oath.
He thinks a just cause needs no oath to bind the doers to their cause
Brutus shows his rational and logical nature, as well as his idealism, by arguing that "what other oath than honesty to honesty engaged, that this shall be, or we will fall for it."
I believe his says that their cause is strong enough to bond them to their words or something along those lines
Because he seems to think everyone there is loyal and there is no use for them to swear an oath

Yes you do. You must swear an oath of loyalty.
I believe his says that their cause is strong enough to bond them to their words or something along those lines
So they wont betray them.
So they wont betray them.
So they wont betray them.
Brutus does not want to swear an oath because this would lessen the nobility of their endeavor. As honorable and honest men-good Romans all, they are pledging themselves to commit an honorable deed by killing Caesar; an oath would suggest that they lack nobility, honest, and courage. He is displaying a sense of honor or hubris depending on your point of view. ChaCha!
