How is the Florida Legislature structured?

• A. Two houses: the Florida Senate and the Florida House of Representatives.
• B. A single-house assembly.
• C. A council with no elected representatives.
• D. Three separate chambers.

Answer: (A)

Two houses make up the Florida Legislature: the Florida Senate and the Florida House of Representatives. This bicameral arrangement means laws are introduced, debated, and passed in both chambers before the governor can act. The Senate has forty members representing larger districts, while the House has one hundred twenty members representing smaller districts, balancing broader and more local interests. Other structures—being a single-house assembly, a council with no elected representatives, or three separate chambers—do not describe Florida's system, which is defined by two elected chambers working together to create laws.
