Andrew Stevenson Jacksonian Andrew Stevenson Jacksonian The 1830–31 United States House of Representatives elections were held on various dates in various states between July 5, 1830, and October 3, 1831.

The supporters of President Andrew Jackson lost ten seats during his first term, but managed to maintain control of the chamber amidst the growth of two new opposition movements.

The brash style of Congress during the administration of Jackson caused a number of Americans to become dissatisfied with the government and both of the major parties.

The Jacksonians remained firmly in control of the House, but lost several seats, as did the minority National Republicans.

The Anti-Masonic Party, an aspiring third party which was based on a single issue (distrust of Freemasonry), was actually able to gain a dozen seats, and four South Carolina Congressman who called themselves Nullifiers (based on the principle of states' rights) were also elected.

Connecticut elected its six at-large members on a general ticket on April 14, 1831, after the term began but before the Congress convened.

North Carolina elected its members August 11, 1831, after the term began but before the new Congress convened.
