Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The United States Senate elections of 1790 was the second election of Senators in the United States. In this election, terms were up for the nine Senators in Class 1. As of this election, formal organized political parties had yet to form in the United States, but two political factions were present: The coalition of Senators who supported George Washington's administration were known as the Pro-Administration Party, and the Senators against him as the Anti-Administration Party. As this election was prior to the seventeenth amendment, Senators were chosen by State legislatures.
