Instructions for the elections of U.S. Senators and Representatives are in the U.S. Constitution, adopted September 17, 1787.

The 1st Congress was called to order in Philadelphia on March 4, 1789. However, the House did not have a quorum (enough of its members to do business) present until April 1, 1789, and the Senate did not have a quorum present until April 6, 1789.
