Massachusetts General Court

The Massachusetts General Court is the state's legislative body, responsible for making laws and overseeing state government functions. It consists of two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. The General Court debates and votes on proposed legislation, allocates funding, and addresses statewide issues. Members are elected by the public, and their work influences many areas such as education, transportation, and public safety. The General Court meets annually, and its decisions play a crucial role in shaping the laws and policies that govern Massachusetts.
