Read Vice President Aaron Burr’s quote about the Senate. [The Senate] is a sanctuary; a citadel of law, of order, and of liberty; and it is here - it is here, in this exalted refuge; here, if anywhere, will resistance be made to the storms of political phrensy and the silent arts of corruption. What was Burr most likely saying about the Senate?

The answer is "The Senate is the stable, righteous, and reliable arm of government."


The United States Senate is the upper council of the United States Congress, which alongside the United States House of Representatives—the lower chamber—involves the assembly of the United States.

As the upper house, the Senate has a few forces of guidance and assent which are one of a kind to it; these incorporate the approval of bargains and the affirmation of Cabinet secretaries, Supreme Court judges, government judges, other administrative official authorities, signal officers, administrative authorities, diplomats, and other bureaucratic formally dressed officers.
