Abstract

In recent times, some bicameral legislatures are proposing the eradication of their second chambers. In March 2017, Mauritanian president, Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, announced that a referendum would take place to determine whether or not the senate would be abolished (NEWS24 2017). The constitutional amendment process, which started in 1991, reached a stalemate when a majority member of the senate voted against the proposal. In Canada, opinion polls indicated that a majority of the citizens supported either the reform or abolition of the senate (Kennedy 2015; Trimble 2014). In 2012, the Senegalese senate was abolished (Allison 2012; Magaji 2016).
