Explanation:

A bicameral legislature can be defined as a legislative body that comprises of two chambers or houses; upper house and lower house. The upper chamber or house consists of senators while the lower chamber consists of house of representatives.

The senate refers to a deliberative assembly or council of elected citizens found in the upper chamber or house of a bicameral legislature.

Generally, the type of government in which legislators such as a senator are found is known as a democracy. Democracy refers to a government of the people, by the people and for the people.

Also, members of the senate (senators) are elected by the people of the state they are representing and as such they must be an indigene of that particular state.

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.

Hence, the confirmation process allows the Senate to judge the abilities of many of the president's appointees to public office. The confirmation process avails the senate the opportunity to examine the qualifications of the president's appointees to public office as enshrined in the constitution (assent and consent).
