Composition of Two Houses

In states with a bicameral legislature, the system consists of the Legislative Assembly, whose members are directly elected by the people, and the Legislative Council, whose members are elected by local bodies, graduates, teachers, and are also nominated by the Governor. This dual structure is designed to balance immediate popular representation with a more considered review of legislation.

In simple language, while the Assembly reflects the direct will of the people, the Council provides expert and regional input. Recent examples show that the interplay between these two houses can lead to better scrutiny of laws and policies.

The bicameral system thus plays an important role in ensuring thorough legislative review and balanced governance.
