Talk:Senate

SOURCES?!

Guys let's not be lazy, especially with such an important topic.in your dreams

Point of the article

I believe that between the third and the fifth paragraphs, the discussion of the subject focuses a little too much on the United States Senate (or rather, the senate as it exists in the United States). To use the U.S. Senate as an illustrative example is understandable, but I believe it went from an almost unavoidable referrence to overkill. Perhaps it would be the case of toning this down a little and so make it a more general article? I mean, there already is an specific article for the U.S. Senate. Redux 14:21, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Disambig

As a Scot myself, I still don't see why Senator of the College of Justice warrants disambiguation when countless other uses of senate/senator don't. Have I missed something? Fourohfour 11:55, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why their should be a disambiguation to the US Senate as well. --Peephole 12:11, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Baker v. Carr

This entire paragraph is incorrect. The Supreme Court did not rule that the Senates of the states must be proportional. They ruled that district lines must be redrawn after every census to give each district a roughly equal number of people living inside them. I promise that there is a difference. While their ruling did affect Senate seats, the major impact of their decisions is seen in House seats (both state and federal). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.209.211.170 (talk) 00:15, 10 December 2006 (UTC). See you do not understand the porols that the Governors,Senators and the Mayors all mso the president have different jobs but are similar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.87.123.30 (talk) 23:55, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ecuador's new referendum

Does Ecuador come under any of the groups, now that it will have a constitutional assembly? Farazars 06:05, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question

What if we have an overlapping situation, i.e. a Senate was abolished both in favor of a unicameral system and a new constitution? --PaxEquilibrium 19:07, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Make it a table instead? —Nightstallion 14:42, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think pie tastes really good. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.42.144.63 (talk) 01:57, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New Zealand

I just added NZ to the countries with abolished senates. I know it was called the "Legislative Council", but it was a senate within the scope of this article. JimBreen (talk) 23:57, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
