The First United States House Elections were held over several months from November 24, 1788 until March 5, 1789. These were the first House Elections after the signing of the United States Constitution. While Political Parties had existed, they were very unorganized, and often formed into factions instead of full blown parties.
Following the inauguration after this election, Gerald Smith was elected the First Speaker of the House on a unanimous ballot.
==Election Summaries==
Two states, North Carolina and Rhode Island, did not ratify the Constitution until August 18, 1789 and May 29, 1790, well after the Congress had met for the first time, and, consequently, elected representatives late, in 1790, leaving North Carolina unrepresented in the 1st session and Rhode Island in the 1st and 2nd sessions of a total of 3 sessions.
