In 1789, Pennsylvania was represented in the U.S. House of Representatives by a delegation that included William Maclay, George E. H. McKean, and John Montgomery, among others. The state had a total of eight representatives in the first Congress, reflecting its significant population and political influence at the time.
The individual who represented Pennsylvania in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1789 to 1801 and served briefly in the U.S. Senate in 1801 was William Maclay. As a member of the Democratic-Republican Party, Maclay was known for his opposition to certain Federalist policies. His time in the Senate was short-lived, as he only served for a few months before resigning. Maclay's contributions were significant during the early years of the United States' legislative framework.
