The senate during the early republican phase was powerful because it was completely ruled by the patrician class which was a group of the most influential, wealthy and descendants of nobility.
During the later stage of the republic the senate was the seat of power because it held th emajority of power as well as land through the use of latifundia. As well as this it organised the armys which held the power in Rome.
During the empire stage the senate had very little actual power. This is because the emperors had slowly taken away those rights and taken the powers for themselves.

What was the most powerful governing body in the Roman Republic?
The people that have that kind of power was the senate which at the time had basic control over everything since they did all the voting. except when ceasr was in power he gave himself absolute power over everyone and did everything that he wanted. But when he had been killed his adopted son went into to the leadership roll who was Augustus but he didn't want to make the same mistake his father made so he did what the senate wanted him to do which made them give him complete power but he did not ask for this he just waited for them to give it to him. So yes the senate has all of the power in Rome if you go by this.

Is the Roman senate the most powerful part of the Roman government?
yes the senate is, to an extent. The actual, most powerful part of the Roman government was the Roman people (during the republic) The senate was a consulting body only. They could not actually pass a law. Laws were passed by the voting assemblies made up of the Roman people. The people also had tribunes who had the power to veto anything the senate proposed. But the senators were clever and could and did pass resolutions which had a similar effect as a law if a tribune didn't veto them. Of course all this political posturing faded away during the principate when the emperor held the supreme power.
