I think the senate made policy decisions.
Citizen's rights and responsibilities stem from the constitution as they were given to us by our creator according to the constitution. The European ideology claimed that all people are equal (in terms of caste, religion and status) and developed from the enlightenment era.

I think that it focused on the welfare of humanity in society
