The primary function of the Senate is to make (enact) laws and that is why they're usually referred to as the legislative arm of government (legislature). In addition to making laws, senators are saddled with the responsibility of confirming any appointment made by the president that requires consent and the ratification of treaties.

Also, senators are usually elected by the people of the state they are representing and as such must be an indigene of the state.
