	Imperial Senate - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
		The Imperial Senate or Imperial Congress was, during the time of the Galactic Empire, the successor of the Galactic Senate of the Republic.
		The Imperial Senate was established in 19 BBY after the Empire was founded by the self-appointed Galactic Emperor Palpatine.
		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.

	J. B. Bury: History of the Later Roman Empire • Vol. I Chap. I
		When Augustus founded the Empire, he derived his Imperial authority from the sovranty of the people; and the essence of this principle was retained throughout the duration not only of the Principate but also of the Monarchy; for the Imperial office remained elective, and the electors had the right of deposing the Emperor.
		The authority of the Senate or the Imperial Council might constitute a strong practical check upon an Emperor's acts, but if he chose to disregard their views, he could not be accused of acting unconstitutionally.
		To resume: the Senate was recruited from men of senatorial origin, that is, sons of senators, and from men who, born outside the senatorial class, were ennobled by elevation to office, or

	senate, Roman. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		B.C. the senate was a group of 300 men with a high degree of political, legislative, and administrative power at Rome.
		However, the authority of the senate was not called into question until the growth of party-class division that developed with the agitation of the Gracchi.
		The optimates tried to foster the idea that they represented constitutionalism versus subversion, but after Sulla, who combined the bloodiest illegality with the strictest defense of the senate (which he raised to 600 members), such a claim by optimates was hypocritical and cynical.

	Abstract
		The primarily demographical controversy between Hopkins and Alfˆldy on the extent to which membership in the Roman Imperial senate was hereditary, was paralleled by their differing views on ordo identity, seen by them as weak and strong, respectively.
		The focus of this paper is not on their demographical claims, but on the assumption that there is a strong sociological correlation between social mobility and the identity of the imperial senate and its members.
		In conclusion, I contend that high social mobility in the Roman imperial senate may not directly correspond to the mutability of the senate as an institution, and the associated identity of its members.

		Many Senators wholeheartedly supported the new government while a number of more cautious senators chose to watch and wait to see how the new government would handle the affairs of state.
		The Grand Army of the Republic became the Imperial Army, and the Republic Navy became the Imperial Navy.
