The body was created by the first state constitution adopted in 1818.

Senators are divided into three groups,each group having a two-year term at a different part of the decade between censuses,with the rest of the decade being taken up by two four-year terms. For example,group one elects senators for terms of four years,four years and two years,group two elects senators for terms of four years,two years and four years,and group three elects senators for terms of two years,four years and four years.
