There are only two possible answers, and the chapter tells you how to decide which one applies to you.
| Type | Houses | Which states |
|---|---|---|
| Bicameral | Vidhan Sabha (Legislative Assembly) and Vidhan Parishad (Legislative Council) | Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh — six states |
| Unicameral | Vidhan Sabha only | All the remaining states |
Sample answer (adapt it to your own state): “My state is Karnataka. Karnataka has a bicameral legislature: a Vidhan Sabha, whose members (MLAs) are directly elected by the people of each constituency, and a Vidhan Parishad, the Legislative Council. The legislature meets in the Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru, the building envisioned by Kengal Hanumanthaiah — a freedom fighter, a member of the Constituent Assembly, Chief Minister of Karnataka and later a Member of Parliament.”
If your state is not one of the six, your answer is: “My state has a unicameral legislature — only a Vidhan Sabha. Laws for the state are made by the MLAs in that single House, on subjects in the State List and the Concurrent List.”
