Arquivum de Senatem Marciana
The Archives of the Martian Senate document resolutions, decrees, and acts that have passed the Senate and subsequently become law. The Martian Senate itself has a long history, serving as the principle legislative body for the Martian State for 147 years. As such, the Senate is comprised of the most senior officials that are most knowledgeable in Martian government and affairs, and are tasked with setting national policy not only over the Republic, but the Conglomerate and its territories as a whole.
''It is the duty of each and every Senator to pass judgement when the Senate is in session to the best of their abilities and exercise rational forethought at the behest of the Republic and its citizens. To pass judgement in order to serve one's own interests or in a manner that which betrays the foundations of the Republic are not only a betrayal of principle but of the uberrima fides given unto the position of Senator by the public order. In this does the Republic strike its motto into stone of 'Senatus Populusque Martianus.' The Martian Senate and People.''
