10th United States Congress - State Delegations

The Tenth 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 1807 to March 3 1809, during the last two years of the second administration of U.S. President Thomas Jefferson.

The apportionment of seats in this House of Representatives was based on the Second Census of the United States in 1800. Both chambers had a Democratic-Republican majority.

This article supplements the main article with a list of the members by state delegation.

In this Congress, Class 1 meant their term ended with this Congress, requiring reelection in 1808; Class 2 meant their term began in the last Congress, requiring reelection in 1810; and Class 3 meant their term began in this Congress, requiring reelection in 1812.

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.

The list below is arranged by state, then by chamber. Senators are shown in order of seniority, House members in district order.
