A single front page of the Boston Gazette, dated November 26, 1787, carries a letter to the editor signed "A Federalist" on the proposed Constitution. The Gazette was one of the longest-running newspapers in colonial America, and by late 1787 its pages were filled with debate over the document drafted in Philadelphia that September. Writers using the "Federalist" label argued for ratification, while opponents published their own essays under other pseudonyms. Newspaper columns like this one helped shape the public argument that ran through the state ratification campaigns of 1787 and 1788.
