Robert Yates


 

Robert Yates (1738-1831) was a United States politician well known for his Anti-Federalist stances. Most scholars believe that he was the author of a series of sixteen articles written against the ratification of the United States Constitution under the pseudonym Brutus after Marcus Junius Brutus, who helped assassinate Julius Caesar in order to preserve the Roman Republic. The essays, addressed to the "Citizens of the State of New York," appeared in the New York Journal beginning in October 1787.
