In ancient Rome the senate was a consulting body, which was convened to discuss public issues and to judge and hold trials for major offenses such as treason. The senate was the body who would put proposals before the voting assemblies in order to have them passed into law. Although the senate could not pass a law, they could pass resolutions which just about had the same effect as a law.
