The Bavarian Senate (German ''Bayerischer Senat'') was the corporative upper chamber of Bavaria's parliamentary system from 1946 to 1999, when it was abolished by a popular vote (referendum) changing the constitution of this State of the German federation. == Composition == The 60 members of the Senate had to be 40 years of age and could not be a member of the Landtag (the other and more important chamber of the Bavarian parliament). Every other year, a third of the Senate's members would be elected by corporations representing social, economic, municipal or cultural groups or appointed by religious denominations for a term of six years. The number of seats representing each group was fixed by the constitution of Bavaria: * 11 representatives of agriculture or forestry * 5 representatives of industry and trade * 5 representatives of craftsmen * 11 representatives of unions * 4 representatives of professions * 5 representatives of cooperatives * 5 representatives of religious denominations * 5 representatives of social welfare organisations * 3 representatives of universities and colleges * 6 representatives of municipalities and municipal associations Internationally, the Senate's composition is similar to the Vocational Panels in the Irish senate. It also bears remnants of council-democratic ideas. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bavarian Senate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
