Editing Democratic-Republican Party (section)

===Congressional representation===
{{see also|Party divisions of United States Congresses}}
The affiliation of many Congressmen in the earliest years is an assignment by later historians. The parties were slowly coalescing groups; at first there were many independents. Cunningham noted that only about a quarter of the House of Representatives up until 1794 voted with Madison as much as two-thirds of the time and another quarter against him two-thirds of the time, leaving almost half as fairly independent.{{sfnp|Cunningham|1957|p=82}}
