History
The Senate was established for the first time in 1795 by King Louis I as a representative of the local aristocracy, yielding to the pressures of those who, despite the last of an independent monarchy, demanded more rights to the government. Louis I granted the constitution of the Senate but with a mere advisory basis, letting the various aristocrats who were appointed are chattering among themselves to get the most coveted political posts and gain prestige, so forget about the real state of affairs which belong today as then in chief only to the sovereign.
