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

The State Legislature means only the Legislative Assembly.

All States in India have both Houses.

Delhi is a State because it has a Legislative Assembly and Council of Ministers.

Memory Tips

State Legislature has the Governor and one or two Houses

Six States have bicameral legislatures

Legislative Assembly strength and election method

Assembly member qualifications
