  • 1793 United States House of Representatives elections in South Carolina

The 1792–93 United States House of Representatives elections were held on various dates in various states between August 27, 1792, and September 6, 1793. Each state set its own date for its elections to the House of Representatives before the first session of the 3rd United States Congress convened on December 2, 1793. With the addition of the new state of Kentucky's representatives, and the congressional reapportionment based on the 1790 United States census, the size of the House increased to 105 seats.

They coincided with the re-election of President George Washington. While Washington ran for president as an independent, his followers (more specifically, the supporters of Alexander Hamilton) formed the nation's first organized political party, the Federalist Party, whose members and sympathizers are identified as pro-Administration on this page. In response, followers of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison created the opposition Democratic-Republican Party, who are identified as anti-Administration on this page. The Federalists promoted urbanization, industrialization, mercantilism, centralized government, and a broad interpretation of the United States Constitution. In contrast, Democratic-Republicans supported the ideal of an agrarian republic made up of self-sufficient farmers and small, localized governments with limited power.

Despite nearly unanimous support for Washington as a presidential candidate, Jeffersonian ideas edged out Hamiltonian principles at the ballot box for congressional candidates, with the Democratic-Republicans taking 24 seats more than they had prior to the organization of their political movement. Most of the increase was due to the addition of new seats in Western regions as a result of the 1790 census. Dominated by agrarian culture, these Western territories offered strong support to Democratic-Republican congressional candidates. As a result, they secured a thin majority in the legislature.

Election summaries

In this period, each state fixed its own date for its congressional election as early as August 1792 (in New Hampshire and Rhode Island) and as late as September 1793 (in Kentucky). In some states, the congressional delegation was not elected until after the legal start of the Congress (on the 4th day of March in the odd-numbered year), but as the first session of Congress typically began in November or December, the elections took place before Congress actually met. The 3rd Congress first met on December 2, 1793.

These were the first elections held after reapportionment following the first census. Thirty-six new seats were added, with 1 state losing 1 seat, 3 states having no change, and the remaining 11 states gaining between 1 and 9 seats. This was the first apportionment based on actual census data, the apportionment for the 1st and 2nd Congresses being set by the Constitution using estimated populations.

Massachusetts

Following the 1790 census, Massachusetts's representation increased from eight to fourteen Representatives and was redistricted into four plural districts, plus a single at-large district. The 4th district covered the District of Maine (the modern-day State of Maine). The plural districts were concurrent tickets rather than a single general ticket, though the 1st and 2nd districts appeared to have also had a general ticket alongside the more specific tickets.

As before, a majority was required for election, in those districts where a majority was not achieved, additional ballots were required.

Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania switched from using districts to electing its representatives on an at-large basis for the 3rd Congress, just as it had done for the 1st Congress. This would be the last time that Pennsylvania would elect all of its Representatives at-large. Due to re-apportionment following the 1790 census, Pennsylvania's delegation increased from 8 representatives to 13.

Vermont

Vermont had no apportionment in the House of Representatives before 1790 census because it was not admitted to the Union until 1791. Vermont's election laws at the time required a majority to win election to the House of Representatives. If no candidate won a majority, a runoff election was held, which happened in the 1st district.

Notes

  1. Muhlenberg was elected speaker by Anti-Administration Party members but continued to affiliate with the Pro-Administration Party.

  3. Vermont required a majority for election, which led to an additional ballot on March 20, 1793.
  4. Source does not give numbers of votes or has incomplete data.
  5. Date given for the start of the term, of the person elected at the special election. In some cases this is clearly wrong as the date of the legal start of the Congress is given, even though the member was elected at a later date.
  6. Party affiliation not given in source
  7. Only candidates with at least 1% of the vote listed.
  8. Source does not give full name.
  9. Numbers of votes missing or incomplete in source.
  10. Four individuals received 1 vote each.
  11. Had been Anti-Administration in the previous election.

The 1792 93 United States House of Representatives elections were held on various dates in various states between August 27 1792 and September 6 1793 Each state set its own date for its elections to the House of Representatives before the first session of the 3rd United States Congress convened on December 2 1793 With the addition of the new state of Kentucky s representatives and the congressional reapportionment based on the 1790 United States census the size of the House increased to 105 seats 1792 93 United States House of Representatives elections 1790 amp 1791 August 27 1792

Frederick Muhlenberg Pro Administration They coincided with the re election of President George Washington While Washington ran for president as an independent his followers more specifically the supporters of Alexander Hamilton formed the nation s first organized political party the Federalist Party whose members and sympathizers are identified as pro Administration on this page In response followers of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison created the opposition Democratic Republican Party who are identified as anti Administration on this page The Federalists promoted urbanization industrialization mercantilism centralized government and a broad interpretation of the United States Constitution In contrast Democratic Republicans supported the ideal of an agrarian republic made up of self sufficient farmers and small localized governments with limited power Despite nearly unanimous support for Washington as a presidential candidate Jeffersonian ideas edged out Hamiltonian principles at the ballot box for congressional candidates with the Democratic Republicans taking 24 seats more than they had prior to the organization of their political movement Most of the increase was due to the addition of new seats in Western regions as a result of the 1790 census Dominated by agrarian culture these Western territories offered strong support to Democratic Republican congressional candidates As a result they secured a thin majority in the legislature Election summariesIn this period each state fixed its own date for its congressional election as early as August 1792 in New Hampshire and Rhode Island and as late as September 1793 in Kentucky In some states the congressional delegation was not elected until after the legal start of the Congress on the 4th day of March in the odd numbered year but as the first session of Congress typically began in November or December the elections took place before Congress actually met The 3rd Congress first met on December 2 1793 These were the first elections held after reapportionment following the first census Thirty six new seats were added with 1 state losing 1 seat 3 states having no change and the remaining 11 states gaining between 1 and 9 seats This was the first apportionment based on actual census data the apportionment for the 1st and 2nd Congresses being set by the Constitution using
