Brutus’ Anti-Federalist No. 1. - opposition to a federal republic.

Explanation:

Brutus was the pseudonym of Robert Yates, an American politician who wrote a series of essays in opposition to the establishment of a federal republic during the early days of the United States. Brutus' main concern was that by ceding part of their sovereignty and creating a federal government, eventually the central government would grow. Writing to New York citizens, on his Anti-Federalist No. 1 (1787) Brutus argues that for a country as large as the United States, a federal republic would be impractical and the central government would become tyrannical.
