'__________ORIGIN & FUNCTIONS_________

The Senate of Maryland originated as the Upper House of the General Assembly, formally distinguished
from the Lower House in 1650 (Chapter 1, Acts of 1650). The Governor and the Governor's Council
constituted the Upper House until 1675. Thereafter, the Upper House consisted of the Governor's
Council. To this day, the Senate still functions as the Governor's Council when it confirms or rejects
appointments made by the Governor.

The Constitution of 1776 established the Senate. Members were chosen by electors to represent
regions. In the period 1776 to 1837, from the Western Shore nine senators were selected and from the
Eastern Shore, six (Const. 1776, secs. 14-18). In 1838, senators first were elected by the voters, rather
than by an electoral college, and first were chosen to represent either an individual county or a legislative
election district of Baltimore City, rather than a broad area.

For most of its history, the Senate represented geographic regions of the State. Regardless of
population, each county elected a single senator. With the exception of Baltimore City, representation in
the Senate was based on geography, not population, until 1966. Since the legislative apportionment plan
of 1972 took effect in the 1974 elections, each of the General Assembly's 47 senators has been elected
from one of 47 legislative election districts. These districts provide for equal representation based on
population.
