1789 CE
Morris is elected by the Pennsylvania legislature to serve as a United States Senator from 1789 to 1795.
He will sit on forty-one Senatorial committees and report for many of them.
He supports the Federalist economic program, which includes internal improvements such as canals and lighthouses to aid commerce.
As senator he generally supports the Federalist party and backs Hamilton's economic proposals.
Hamilton uses principles similar to those in Morris's report "On Public Credit", submitted some ten years earlier.
