Definition: The term "Chathamites" is a reference to the historical and political context surrounding the formation of the United States. In 1783, Thomas Jefferson, the first President of the United States, wrote a letter to his brother-in-law, Alexander Hamilton, proposing the idea of forming a bicameral legislature with two chambers: one for the House of Representatives and another for the Senate. This proposal was later adopted by the United States Constitution.
