The California State Legislature is the state legislature of the U.S. state of California. It is a bicameral body consisting of the lower house, the California State Assembly, with 80 members, and the upper house, the California State Senate, with 40 members. New legislators convene each new two-year session, to organize, in the Assembly and Senate Chambers, respectively, at noon on the first Monday in December following the election.
Before the United States Constitution was written, the unicameral legislature was not effective enough to handle all of the nation's affairs. Once the Constitution was adopted, the United States moved to a bicameral legislature, a two-house Congress made up of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Bicameral legislatures are generally the structure used within U.S. state governments as well.
