Each state in the United States has a legislature as part of its form of civil government. Most of the fundamental details of the legislature are specified in the state constitution. 49 state legislatures are bicameral bodies, composed of a lower house (Assembly, General Assembly, State Assembly, House of Delegates, or House of Representatives) and an upper house (Senate). The Nebraska Legislature is the lone unicameral body.
The exact names, dates, term lengths, term limits, electoral districts, and other details are determined by the individual states' laws.
