A '''Senate''' is a governing body of a legislature.
==United States Senate==
The [[United States]] has a senate composed of 100 members, 50 from each [[state]]. The Senate convenes in [[Washington, D.C.]]. The Senate is equally divided, with 49 [[Republican]]s and 49 [[Democrat]]s. However, both [[Independent]]s, [[Joe Lieberman]] and [[Bernie Sanders]], are more [[liberal]] than the average Senator, so some consider the [[Democrat]]s to have a slight 51-49 advantage.
==Roman Senate==
==Roman Senate==
The senate of the [[Roman Empire]] was similar to the senate of the Roman Republic. The senate continued to meet in the Curia, but the number of senators was increased to over a thousand by [[Julius Caesar]]. During this time the senate was essentially a figurehead subject to the orders of the emperor.
