Explanation:
Centinel was the alias that was used for writing articles to Philadelphia Independent Gazetteer and Philadelphia Freeman's Journal from October 1787 till April 1788. Historians consider that the articles were written by Samuel Bryan. Some of the articles were also written by George Bryan and Eleazer Oswald. Samuel Bryan was an anti-federalist who was against the proposed Constitution of the United States. He was a resident of Pennsylvania and wrote during the Confederation period.
New states may be admitted by the Congress into this union; but no new states shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well
