What to Focus On

  • A State Legislature may be unicameral or bicameral.
  • Vidhan Sabha means Legislative Assembly.
  • Vidhan Parishad means Legislative Council.
  • A Council can be created or abolished by a special resolution.
  • The resolution needs majority of total membership.
  • It also needs two-thirds of members present and voting.
  • The Governor is the constitutional head of the State.
  • The Governor is appointed by the President.
  • The Governor serves during the pleasure of the President.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
