Senate

This is an accepted version of this page A senate is a deliberative assembly, often the upper house or chamber of a bicameral legislature.

Modern senates typically serve to provide a chamber of "sober second thought" to consider legislation passed by a lower house, whose members are usually elected.

Its meaning is derived from a very ancient form of social organization, in which advisory or decision-making powers are reserved for the eldest men.

This form of adaptation was used to show the power of those in body and for the decision-making process to be thorough, which could take a long period of time.

Similarly in Argentina, in addition to the Senate at federal level, eight of the country's provinces, Buenos Aires, Catamarca, Corrientes, Entre Ríos, Mendoza, Salta, San Luis (since 1987) and Santa Fe, have bicameral legislatures with a Senate.
