1832–33 United States House of Representatives elections
They were held concurrently with the 1832 presidential election, in which Democrat[c] Andrew Jackson was reelected.The congressional reapportionment based on the 1830 United States census increased the size of the House to 240 seats.Economic issues were key factors in this election: Southern agricultural districts reacted angrily to the passage of the Tariff of 1832, which led to the Nullification Crisis.The House initially elected Andrew Stevenson as Speaker, but he resigned from the House after President Jackson appointed him as U.S. Minister to the United Kingdom: National Republican Representatives subsequently elected John Bell as Speaker over James Polk.Elections were held April 1, 1833, after the term began but before the House convened in December 1833.
