Variant namesHide Profile
Yates was appointed to the New York Supreme Court in 1777; in Sep. 1790 he was made Chief Justice of the court and served until 1798. He was a delegate from New York to the Philadelphia Convention of 1787, but left believing the Convention had gone beyond their mandate in writing the U. S. Constitution. He was very anti-federalist and is believed to have written a series of anti-federalist papers (Oct 1787-Apr. 1788) under the pseudonym Brutus.
