It met in Washington, DC from March 4, 1821 to March 3, 1823, during the first two years of the second administration of U.S. President James Monroe.
The apportionment of seats in this House of Representatives was based on the Third Census of the United States in 1810. Both chambers had a Democratic-Republican majority.
