What Is the State Legislatures Chapter About?
The State Legislatures chapter introduces students to the legislative institutions of Indian states and their role in the democratic system.
Students learn how state legislatures are structured, how legislation is considered, and how elected representatives participate in government.
1. What Is a State Legislature?
Under Article 168 of the Indian Constitution, a state's legislature consists of the Governor and either one or two Houses, depending on the state.
- Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha): The directly elected House.
- Legislative Council (Vidhan Parishad): The upper House found only in states that have one.
A state with one House has a unicameral legislature. A state with two Houses has a bicameral legislature.
2. Legislative Assembly vs Legislative Council
| Legislative Assembly |
Legislative Council |
| Known as Vidhan Sabha. |
Known as Vidhan Parishad. |
| Members are directly elected by voters. |
Members are chosen through constitutionally prescribed methods. |
| Normally continues for five years unless dissolved earlier. |
Is a permanent House and is not dissolved as a whole. |
| Has a central role in holding the state government accountable. |
Reviews legislation and performs constitutionally assigned functions. |
Revision tip: Practise writing these differences in your own words. Comparison tables can help you organise your answers clearly.
3. Composition of the State Legislature
The structure depends on whether the state has one House or two. The Governor is part of the state legislature under the Constitution but is not a member of either House.
The Legislative Assembly consists of representatives elected from territorial constituencies. Where a Legislative Council exists, its members are selected through constitutionally specified electoral and nomination procedures.
4. Important Functions of the State Legislature
- Legislative functions: Considering and passing laws within the state's legislative competence, subject to the Constitution.
- Financial functions: Considering state financial proposals under constitutional procedures.
- Control over government: The Legislative Assembly holds the Council of Ministers accountable through legislative procedures.
- Representative functions: Representatives raise public issues and discuss matters affecting their constituencies.
- Constitutional functions: Participating in specific constitutional processes where required.
Study note: Use your prescribed ICSE textbook and your school's syllabus to confirm the exact topics and level of detail required for your examination.
