Detailed explanation-1: -Massachusetts’s first two senators, Tristram Dalton and Caleb Strong, took office on March 4, 1789. The state’s longest-serving senators include George Hoar (1877–1904), Henry Cabot Lodge, Sr. (1893–1924), and Edward Kennedy (1962–2009).
Detailed explanation-2: -On March 7, 1850, Massachusetts senator Daniel Webster (pictured) rose in the Senate Chamber to stake his career, his reputation, and perhaps the nation’s future on the success of a speech that he hoped would unite moderates of all sections in support of Kentucky Senator Henry Clay’s proposed “Compromise of 1850."
Detailed explanation-3: -After a brief stint in journalism, Kennedy represented a working-class Boston district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1947 to 1953. He was subsequently elected to the U.S. Senate and served as the junior senator for Massachusetts from 1953 to 1960.
