The U.S. Senate is sometimes accused of being undemocratic, for two major reasons:
(1) the composition of the Senate is based on geographical area, not population. Each state is given the same representation, regardless of the size of the state, or the population thereof. In many people's minds, "democratic" means that that all citizens should have an equal say in government. In theory, this does not apply in the Senate, which was designed so all States have an equal say, but not all citizens.
(2) The rules that the Senate runs itself by are a rather archaic form of Parliamentary Order. As such, there are significant barriers to legislation that many consider to be highly autocratic (that is, favoring certain powerful individuals at the expense of the whole body). Examples of this are the Anonymous Hold, the filibuster/closure rule, the rules of precedence, seniority, and even the rules on committee membership and composition.
The senate opposed Julius caesar.
Many people opposed it, most world nations approved the plan. The US Senate rejected it twice and on one occasion, the US Senate's revisions to the League's charter was rejected by President Lincoln.
The Senate: people elect reps to the Senate and then the Senators do what the people want... voila, republicanism at work.
