Who were the the counsels and senators were when rome was a republic?

I guess that counsels is a misspelling of consuls. The consuls were the two annually elected heads of the city and the army. The senators were the members of the Roman senate. The senate was an advisory body. It was not elected and its members were former officers of state and aristocrats. It did not propose bills or vote on them. The bills were proposed by the consuls or the plebeian tribunes and voted on by the popular assemblies. However, the senate issued decrees. By the mid Republic it became the most powerful political body of Rome.
