Party Divisions of the House of Representatives, 1789 to Present
Political parties have been central
to the organization and operations of the U.S. House of Representatives.
As this chart demonstrates, the efforts of the founding generation to
create a national government free of political parties proved
unworkable. Parties demonstrated their worth in the House very quickly
in organizing its work and in bridging the separation of powers. Within a
decade House parties absorbed the various state and local factions.
The chart below emphasizes the traditional two-party structure of the
United States, with third-party affiliations in the Other column.
Additionally, the numbers of Delegates and Resident Commissioners are
reflected in the “Del./Res.” Column for reference. This chart does not
address the party affiliation of these Members as they do not hold
voting privileges on the House Floor.
The figures presented are the House party divisions as of the initial election results
for a particular Congress. This means that subsequent changes in House
membership due to deaths, resignations, contested or special elections,
or changes in a Member’s party affiliation are not included.
The determination of party membership relies upon a number of authoritative sources that include The Biographical Directory of the U.S. Congress, the House Clerk’s Election Statistics, Congressional Quarterly’s Guide to U.S. Elections, Michael Dubin’s United States Congressional Elections, and Kenneth Martis’s Historical Atlas of Political Parties in the United States Congress.
