Next congress: "4th Congress"Members
Senators were elected by the state legislatures every two years, with one-third beginning new six year terms with each Congress. Preceding the names in the list below are Senate class numbers, which indicate the cycle of their election. In this Congress, Class 1 meant their term began in the last Congress, requiring reelection in 1796; Class 2 meant their term began in this Congress, requiring reelection in 1798; and Class 3 meant their term ended with this Congress, requiring reelection in 1794.
The names of members of the House of Representatives elected statewide on the
general ticket or otherwise "at-large," are preceded by an "A/L," and the names of those elected from districts, whether plural or single member, are preceded by their district numbers.Many of the congressional district numbers are linked to articles describing the district itself. Since the boundaries of the districts have changed often and substantially, the linked article may only describe the district as it exists today, and not as it was at the time of this Congress.
There were no political parties in this Congress. Members are informally grouped into factions of similar interest, based on an analysis of their voting record. [cite book|title = The Historical Atlas of Political Parties in the United States Congress|last = Martis|first = Kenneth C.]
The list below is arranged by state, then by chamber. Senators are shown in order of seniority, House members in district order.
