This is a complete list of members of the United States Senate during the 7th United States Congress listed by seniority, from March 4, 1801, to March 3, 1803.
The United States Senate is the upper chamber of the United States Congress, which along with the United States House of Representatives—the lower chamber—comprises the legislature of the United States. The Senate chamber is located in the north wing of the Capitol Building, in Washington, D.C.
The Seventh United States Congress was a meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, consisting of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. It met in Washington, D.C. from March 4, 1801, to March 4, 1803, during the first two years of Thomas Jefferson's presidency. The apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives was based on the First Census of the United States in 1790. Both chambers had a Democratic-Republican majority, except during the Special session of the Senate, when there was a Federalist majority in the Senate.
The order of service is based on the commencement of the senator's first term, with senators entering service the same day ranked alphabetically. [1]
The two main parties in the 7th Congress were the Federalists (F), and Democratic Republicans (DR).
