  Imperial Senate - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
The Imperial Senate was, during the time of the Galactic Empire, the successor of the Galactic Senate of the Republic.
Certain Senators (many of whom later joined the Rebellion) were known for using the Senate as a platform to voice proposals attempting to moderate Palpatine's rule, although always under the guise of perfect loyalty.
The Senate was, at least in theory, responsible for choosing a new Emperor upon the death or abdication of the current holder of the throne.

The Galactic Republic was the name of the galactic government prior to the establishment of the Galactic Empire in 19 BBY.
The Galactic Republic was composed of a significant portion of the known Galaxy, stretching from the Core Worlds to Wild Space, though it was widely believed that the government held little power in the outlying regions, and preferred to focus its attentions on the Core Worlds.
The capital of the Galactic Republic was Coruscant, a planet considered to be the cultural and economical center of the Galaxy, despite being located outside of the Deep Core.

 Galactic Civil War
During this time, the corrupt Senate was militarily incompetent and unable to effectively wage war against the Separatists, and so it increasingly voted more executive powers to the Supreme Chancellor and allowed him to stay in office well after his elected term ended in hopes of expediting an end to the war.
The Galactic Senate, in sympathy with Palpatine, and in moral outrage, elected Palpatine Emperor for life, and aided in the reformation of the Republic into the Galactic Empire.
Fearing retaliation, many of the senators outraged with this New Order, including Bail Organa and Mon Mothma, held their tongues on the Senate floor and saved their energy for an eventual military revolution (the Galactic Civil War), which then seemed to be the only method to end Palpatine's rule.

 Old Republic
Senators were ambassadors of their homeworld, and member worlds were able to maintain their government and society in accordance with local beliefs, customs, and traditions.
Naboo's monarch appointed their senator, while the Alderaan Council of Elders elected their senator out of their own ranks (usually the heir to the Royal House of Organa, as the heir was also the leader of the council).
This bloc, originally led by influential politicians such as Senator Bail Organa, and later by his foster daughter Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan, eventually became the political voice of the emerging anti-Empire Rebel Alliance.

 Emperor Palpatine-A Star Wars Page
In the later years of the empire as portrayed in the original trilogy, especially after the dissolution of the Imperial Senate in A New Hope was essentially a dark side theocracy where nearly all economic resources were being used for the otherwise purposeless slaughter of billions upon billions of people.
The Empire was on the brink of galactic wide economic collapse and there was widespread chaos and almost anarchy throughout the galaxy even on Coruscant itself.
In essence the citizens for the galaxy were being taxed for their own suffering and death because if Palpatine's final plan would have succeeded the second death star would have destroyed every inhabited planet in the galaxy.

Stand him toe-to-toe against Han Solo in the Senate and you'll find that the stylish Corellian scoundrel is a little tongue-tied – in 'battle' there, Lott Dod has him well beat with a power of 4 to 0 (remember, Han's power is useless at the Senate; he needs politics!).
He can't brute-force his way through the Galactic Senate, his destiny-adding text is not worth much, and he may as well keep the blaster in his holster.
Now that Lott Dod's in a senate majority (he is at the Galactic Senate while Dark Side has greatest total politics there), his game text can kick in, and each control phase Lott Dod becomes a walking Tunnel Vision.
