History
The Federal Senate of Brazil was established as the ''Imperial Senate'' by the
Constitution of 1824, first enacted after the
Declaration of Independence. It was modelled on the
House of Lords

of the
British Parliament.
Following independence, in 1822,
Emperor Pedro I
Dom Pedro I (English: Peter I; 12 October 1798 – 24 September 1834), nicknamed "the Liberator", was the founder and first ruler of the Empire of Brazil. As King Dom Pedro IV, he reigned briefly over Portugal, where he also became ...
ordered the convocation of a Assembleia Geral Constituinte e Legislativa (''Legislative and Constituent General Assembly'') to draft the country's first Constitution. Following several disagreements with the elected deputies (which included representatives from present-day

, then part of the Brazilian Empire under the name of ''
Província Cisplatina''), the Emperor dissolved the Assembly. In 1824, Pedro I implemented the first Constitution which established a legislative branch with the
Chamber of Deputies

, and the Senate as an upper house.
The first configuration of the Senate was a consulting body to the Emperor.
Membership was for life and it was a place of great prestige, to which only a small part of the population could aspire. The original Senate had 50 members, representing all of the
Empire's provinces, each with a number of senators proportional to its population. In addition to these elected senators,
daughters and sons of the Emperor aged at least 25 were senators
by right.
The elected members of the Senate had to be at least 40 years old and have an annual income of 800,000
contos-de-réis, which limited candidates to wealthy citizens. Voters also faced an income qualification. Voting in an election for the Senate was limited to male citizens with an annual income of at least 200,000 contos-de-réis. Those who qualified for this did not vote directly for senators; instead, they voted for candidates to be Senate electors. To be a Senate elector required an annual income of 400,000 contos-de-réis. Once elected, these electors would then vote for senator. The election itself would not result in a winner automatically. The three candidates receiving the most votes would make up what was called a "''triple list''", from which the Emperor would select one individual that would be considered "''elected''". The Emperor usually chose the candidate with the most votes, but it was within his discretion to select whichever of the three individuals listed.
Following the adoption of the 1824 Constitution, the first session of the Senate took place in May 1826. The Emperor had repeatedly delayed calling the first election, which had led to accusations that he would attempt to establish an
absolutist government.
The
Proclamation of the Republic in 1889 ended the Brazilian Empire in favor of the
First Republic. The
1891 Constitution was then adopted, transforming Brazil's provinces into states and the Senate into an elected body. This was retained under later constitutions, including the current
1988 Constitution. Now known as the Federal Senate, it resembles the
