The excerpt from Anti - Federalist Papers Brutus No. 1 discusses the idea that representatives in a free republic are chosen by the people, and it raises concerns about the integrity of those representatives. It does not mention natural - born citizen requirements, age requirements, limited terms in office, or residency requirements for representatives.

Answer:

Representatives must be natural - born citizens. (This option is not mentioned in the excerpt and is thus the concern not voiced in the excerpt.)
