What to Focus On
- State Legislature includes Governor and one or two Houses.

- Vidhan Sabha: Directly elected; 60–500 members; 5-year term.
- Makes laws on State and Concurrent Lists.
- Controls state finances; Money Bills start in Vidhan Sabha.
- Holds executive accountable through motions and questions.

The Legislative Council can reject or delay money bills just like the Legislative Assembly.
