First of all there is a bill and someone in the state parliament house wants to make it a law. So the bill gets introduced in the Legislative Assembly then it gets debated in the Legislative Assembly and if the bill gets agreed it goes all the way down to the Legislative Council and then it's the same thing the bill gets introduced in the Legislative Council and the it gets debated in the legislative Council and if it is agreed the bill is approved and then it is a law.

The lower house is usually the House of Representatives. When a bill is first introduced, read by everyone in the house and placed on the agenda for the next session, the bill is then debated, scrutinized and requesting for amendments in the lower house. When the bill is accepted through the House of Representatives (lower house), the bill is then passed on to the upper house (Senate House) and further debated upon. If the majority of seats in the Senate House belongs to the Government Party, the bill can be easily passed through. If the majority of seats belongs to the Opposition, the passing of the bill might get complicated. The debating of passing the bill is pursued and voted upon. If the bill needs amendments, it'll be passed back to the lower house and the entire process is repeated until the bill is passed to both the houses (bicameral legislature) Easy to say, the lower house is where the Prime Minister lives and where most the heat begins, and the upper house has the authority to refuse the bill and knock it back.
