when did the filibuster start in the us senate?
1806
supporters of the right to filibuster argue that the senate has a long tradition of requiring broad support to do business, due in part to the threat of the filibuster, and that this protects the minority. starting with the first senate in 1789, the rules left no room for a filibuster; a simple majority could move to bring the matter to a vote. however, in 1806, the rule allowing a majority to bring the previous question ceased to exist. the filibuster became possible, and since any senator could now block a vote, 100% support was required to bring the matter to a vote. a rule change in 1917 introduced cloture, permitting a two-thirds majority of those present to end debate, and a further change in 1975 reduced the cloture requirement to three-fifths of the entire senate.
