&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Federal Senate&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; ({{langx|pt|Senado Federal}}) is the [[upper house]] of the [[National Congress of Brazil|National Congress]] of [[Brazil]]. When created under the [[Brazilian Constitution of 1824|Imperial Constitution]] in 1824, it was based on the [[House of Lords]] of the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom|British Parliament]], but since the [[Proclamation of the Republic (Brazil)|Proclamation of the Republic]] in 1889 and under the [[History of the Constitution of Brazil#Old Republic Constitution (1891)|first republican Constitution]] the Federal Senate has resembled the [[United States Senate]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The current [[President of the Federal Senate (Brazil)|president of the Federal Senate]] is [[Davi Alcolumbre]], a member of [[Brazil Union|UNIÃO]] from [[Amapá]]. He was re-elected in February 2025 for his two-year non-consecutive term, as he had already led the Senate between 2019-21 during [[Presidency of Jair Bolsonaro|Bolsonaro&amp;#039;s government]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Membership==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Senate has 81 members, serving an eight-year [[term of office]]. There are three senators from each of the country&amp;#039;s 27 federative units, the [[Federal District (Brazil)|Federal District]] and the 26 [[States of Brazil|states]]. Elections are [[Staggered elections|staggered]] so that either a third or two-thirds of senators are up for election every four years. The [[2022 Brazilian general election#Federal Senate elections|most recent election]] took place in 2022, where one-third of the Senate was elected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elections are held under the [[First-past-the-post voting|first-past-the-post]] and [[Plurality-at-large voting|block voting]] systems. In years when a third of members are up for election, voters can cast only one vote and the candidate who receives a [[Plurality (voting)|plurality]] of votes within their state is elected. In years when two-thirds of members are up for election, voters can cast two votes. People can not vote for the same candidate twice, but each party can field up to two candidates in each state. The two highest-placed candidates in each state are elected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
The Federal Senate of Brazil was established as the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Imperial Senate&amp;#039;&amp;#039; by the [[Brazilian Constitution of 1824|Constitution of 1824]], first enacted after the [[Brazilian Declaration of Independence|Declaration of Independence]]. It was modelled on the [[House of Lords]] of the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom|British Parliament]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://noticias.r7.com/brasil/noticias/senado-federal-completa-hoje-185-anos-20110506.html?question=0|title=Senado Federal completa hoje 185 anos|language=pt|work=R7|quote=O Senado Federal foi criado com a primeira Constituição do Império, outorgada em 1824, inspirado, primeiramente, na Câmara dos Lordes da Grã-Bretanha. Sua primeira reunião ocorreu em 6 de maio de 1826.|date=6 May 2011|access-date=22 May 2012}}.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following independence, in 1822, [[Pedro I of Brazil|Emperor Pedro I]] ordered the convocation of a Assembleia Geral Constituinte e Legislativa (&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Legislative and Constituent General Assembly&amp;#039;&amp;#039;) to draft the country&amp;#039;s first Constitution. Following several disagreements with the elected deputies (which included representatives from present-day [[Uruguay]], then part of the Brazilian Empire under the name of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[History of Uruguay|Província Cisplatina]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;), the Emperor dissolved the Assembly. In 1824, Pedro I implemented the first Constitution which established a legislative branch with the [[Chamber of Deputies (Brazil)|Chamber of Deputies]] as the [[lower house]], and the Senate as an upper house.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first configuration of the Senate was a consulting body to the Emperor. [[Senator for life|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 [[Provinces of Brazil|Empire&amp;#039;s provinces]], each with a number of senators proportional to its population. In addition to these elected senators, [[Brazilian imperial family|daughters and sons]] of the Emperor aged at least 25 were senators [[Ex officio member|by right]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The elected members of the Senate had to be at least 40 years old and have an annual income of 800,000 [[Brazilian real (old)|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 &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;triple list&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;, from which the Emperor would select one individual that would be considered &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;elected&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;. The Emperor usually chose the candidate with the most votes, but it was within his discretion to select whichever of the three individuals listed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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 [[Absolute monarchy|absolutist]] government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Proclamation of the Republic (Brazil)|Proclamation of the Republic]] in 1889 ended the Brazilian Empire in favor of the [[First Brazilian Republic|First Republic]]. The [[History of the Constitution of Brazil#Old Republic Constitution (1891)|1891 Constitution]] was then adopted, transforming Brazil&amp;#039;s provinces into states and the Senate into an elected body. This was retained under later constitutions, including the current [[Constitution of Brazil|1988 Constitution]]. Now known as the Federal Senate, it resembles the [[United States Senate]] in that each state has the same number of senators.&lt;br /&gt;
