The Documentary History of the First Federal Congress of the United States of America : Digital Edition
Edited by Charlene Bangs Bickford, Kenneth R. Bowling, William C. diGiacomantonio, and Helen E. Veit

Convening first in New York and later in Philadelphia from March 1789 to March 1791, these earliest iterations of the Senate and the House of Representatives worked with a new president to establish a government subject to the vision of a constitution less than a year in existence. This digital edition contains all of the contents of the celebrated twenty-two-volume letterpress edition from Johns Hopkins University Press.
