History and profile

Statsborgeren was founded by Peder Soelvold in 1831. The editor of the paper was also Peder Soelvold between 1831 and 1835. The magazine criticized the government, ruling bureaucracy and fought for the rights of farmers.

Wergeland edited the magazine until 1837 when it folded.
