The Senate of the United States of Indonesia was the upper chamber of the Parliament of the United States of Indonesia which, along with the People's Representative Council—the lower chamber — comprised the legislature of the United States of Indonesia.
The composition and powers of the Senate were established by Section Two of the Constitution of the United States of Indonesia (RUSI). The Senate was composed of senators, each of whom represented a single state or autonomous entity of the RUSI in its entirety. Each state, regardless of its population size, was equally represented by two senators. At the time of its formation, there were 32 members in the senate, but prior to the dissolution of the senate, there were only 27 members left, with the speaker of the senate not being counted as the member of the senate (according to the article 85.3 of the constitution). Most of the members that left the senate were local monarchs who had to serve in their respective kingdom (Muhammad Kaharuddin III and Sujadi).
