It depended on the attitudes of the emperor. Some emperors respected the senate, some scorned it. Although the senators were still important and could influence politics and conspire against emperors, during the period of rule by emperors, the senate was largely turned into an instrument for the emperor's rule. It was no longer as prestigious as it had been during the republican period.

What was Augustus appeal to the roman senate and to the roman people?
Augustus' appeal to the senate was his military power. He won the last of the civil wars which brought down the Roman Republic, gained control of all the legions of the Roman army and became the sole ruler. The senate could not do anything against his military power and had to allow him to establish his absolute personal rule, to turn the senate into an instrument of his power and to pretend that the senate still mattered in the new political system he created. Augustus' appeal to the Roman people was his propaganda use of the fact that he was the adoptive son of Julius Caesar. They saw him as the man who would uphold Caesar's legacy.

What is the lawmaking body of the Roman Republic?
A republic can take more than one form in actuality. Meaning the bodies of legislature can be more than of one name and type. For example, the US is a republic with federal legislative bodies sitting (working) in Congress. The Congress is made up of two legislative sections, the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House represents the people, thus has over 438 representatives (divided up based on the population of each state, thus California has the most reps.) while the Senate represents the states, with each state having 2 senators for a total of 100 Senators. These totals together, Representatives and Senators, make up the number of electoral votes in the Electoral College. this total is 538. When the federal elections take place, the 1st Tuesday in November, every 4 years, the President elect must win 50% plus 1 of the total electoral college votes to become the next president of the USA. The total, 538 legislators, means the President elect has to win at least 269 electoral votes to be elected. Different countries with a Republic system, for example France has one as well, would have the details of their legislative setup somewhat different though similar the USA. This would be the case of all the republics around the world. The other major system of legislative democratic governments, parliamentary systems, would have a different setup entirely. For example all of the members of the British Commonwealth (any nation formerly owned by Britain) would have a Parliamentary system. They would be democratic (selected by the people in voting) but not a Republic (which also is democratic since its members are also selected by the people by vote).
