All United States Congress

United States Congress gathers the members of the United States Senate and House of Representatives, and the Founding Fathers who shaped the young republic's first statutes and constitutional structure, represented in this subcategory. Its members range from the framers of the United States Constitution itself through the nineteenth century senators and representatives who built the statutory framework of the expanding republic to twentieth and twenty first century members of Congress whose legislation shaped modern American civil rights, financial regulation and constitutional law.
