Brutus seeks to protect Rome from tyranny.
Evidence: Brutus joins the conspiracy not out of personal envy or hatred but because he fears Caesar’s rise will end the Republic — as he says, “not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.” This shows he is idealistic, honor-driven, and motivated by republican principles. The other choices are weaker: he is not mainly ambitious for power, he is generally thoughtful (not impulsive), and he does not hate Caesar personally.
