The Federal Senate (Besmenian: Bundessenat) is the upper house of the Federal Republic of Besmenia. Through the Federal Senate, the states participate in federal legislation and administration as well as in international affairs. Each state is represented by 6 members of its state legislature.

From 1920 to 1940, the members of the Federal Senate were directly elected by the population. In January 1945, through an amendment to the Basic Law, a new composition was introduced, whereby the members of the Federal Senate are now appointed by the respective state parliaments and each federal state takes over the presidency for one year.
