US Senate

The framers of the Constitution created the United States Senate as a safeguard for the rights of states and minority opinion in a system of government designed to confer greater power at the national level. They modeled the Senate on colonial governors' councils and on the state senates that had evolved from them. They intended the Senate to be an independent body of responsible citizens who would share power with the president and the House of Representatives. --- US Senate Historian
