At first, there were more slave states than free states, so pro-slavery senators controlled the senate. They could reject anti-slavery judges and cabinet members and stop legislation that was against slavery. As the northern population grew, and slavery ended in several northern states, eventually there were more anti-slavery senators. This meant that the slave owners were no longer in control of the government and was one cause of the war.

The admission of the last four states—California, Minnesota, Oregon, and Kansas—into the Union significantly impacted the balance of power in the Senate. California and Oregon entered as free states, while Kansas was a battleground over slavery, initially entering as a free state in 1861. This increased the representation of free states in the Senate, weakening the political power of slave states and contributing to the tensions leading up to the Civil War. Overall, the shift in Senate balance heightened the conflict between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions.

Why was the Senate a key institution in the Republic?
The Senate provided initially the controlling body to replace the expelled kings. Originally filled by the aristocratic Patricians, it was soon by public pressure progressively infilled by Plebeian nominees, as the two retiring Consuls each year joined the Senate, and one of the consuls had to be Plebeian. Rome was ruled by a duo of Senate and Assemblies of the citizen (Centuriate, Tribal, Plebeian). The later civil civil wars depleted the Patricians and led to a virtual takeover of the Senate by the Plebs. When Augustus gained power at the end of the Civil Wars, he struck up a power-sharing arrangement with the Senate. The Assemblies of the citizens were ended, so Rome was ruled by the Senate-Emperor duumvirate.
