What type of legislature does your state have?
Students should identify whether their state has a unicameral or bicameral legislature. States with bicameral legislatures (having both Vidhan Sabha and Vidhan Parishad) are: Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana, and Uttar Pradesh. All other states have unicameral legislatures (having only Vidhan Sabha). For example, if a student is from Karnataka, the answer would be: Karnataka has a bicameral legislature with Vidhan Sabha (Legislative Assembly) as the lower house and Vidhan Parishad (Legislative Council) as the upper house.
Explanation
The chapter states that unlike the Centre, State legislatures can be 'unicameral' (having only one house) or 'bicameral' (having two houses). The legislative assembly is called Vidhan Sabha, and the legislative council (upper house) is called Vidhan Parishad. The states having a bicameral system are Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana, and Uttar Pradesh, while the remaining states have a unicameral system.
