Working alongside the Delaware House of Representatives, its mandate includes enacting state laws, debating and approving the state budget, and confirming gubernatorial executive and judicial appointments. Established under Delaware's first state constitution in 1776, its members played a central role in making Delaware the first state to ratify the United States Constitution in 1787.
