State Legislative Chambers
State legislative chambers are the separate groups of elected representatives that create laws and set policies for a particular state. Most states have two chambers: the House of Representatives (or Assembly) and the Senate. The House is usually larger, with members representing smaller districts, while the Senate has fewer members representing larger districts. These chambers work together to propose, review, and pass legislation, and their specific roles and powers can vary by state. Their purpose is to ensure that diverse viewpoints within the state are considered in lawmaking.
