The two halves of the State Legislature are typically referred to as the House of Representatives (or Assembly) and the Senate. The House usually has a larger number of members who serve shorter terms, while the Senate consists of fewer members serving longer terms. This bicameral structure allows for a system of checks and balances within the legislative process, ensuring diverse representation and thorough debate on proposed laws. Each state's specific legislative structure may vary, but this division is common across many states in the U.S.
