=== === Florida is a State and each State has two Senators. Representatives are elected in State Congressional Districts, which are population-based divisions of Counties.
The number of Democratic and Republican senators varied each year from 2000 to 2008 due to elections and other factors. However, on average during this period, there were around 50 Democratic senators and around 49 Republican senators. It is important to note that these numbers are approximations and can change depending on specific instances such as special elections or party switches.
The Democratic-Republican Party effectively ended in 1824, when it split into separate factions that eventually became the modern Democratic and Republican parties. However, the transition was not immediate, and it took several years for these new parties to fully crystallize and supplant the Democratic-Republican Party.

The two major political parties in the United States are the Democrat Party and the Republican Party.

The modern Democratic Party wasn't formed until 1828, or 19 years after Meriwether's death by suicide. However, that party had historic roots back to 1792. While the main parties then were "Democratic-Republican" and "Federalist", President Thomas Jefferson was of the "Democratic-Republican" party. The modern Democratic Party came by a split of the "Democratic-Republican" party, and those who called themselves the Democrats were adhereing to Jeffersonian principles. All that is important as Meriwether Lewis was a political appointee of President Jefferson, so one may infer he was a Democrat. (However, the party's ideology has changed substantially in the two centuries since Meriwether's death.)
