Senate of the Republic

The Senate of the Republic is a legislative body in many countries, often serving as one of the two houses in a bicameral system, alongside a lower house like the House of Representatives. Senators are elected to represent their regions or states, and they create, debate, and vote on laws. The Senate typically has specific powers, such as approving treaties and confirming presidential appointments. It acts as a check on the other legislative body and the executive branch, ensuring that legislation is thoroughly examined and that minority interests are considered in the governing process.
