18 Oct 1787

The series of anti-federalist writing which most nearly paralleled and confronted "The Federalist" was a series of sixteen essays published in the New York Journal from October, 1787, through April, 1788, under the pseudonym "Brutus." The essays were widely reprinted and commented on throughout the American states. The author is thought by most scholars to have been Robert Yates, a New York judge, delegate to the Federal Convention, and political ally of anti-federalist New York Governor George Clinton.
