Which article of the Constitution provides for the State Legislative Assemblies?
Article 168
Article 168 is correct.
Article 168 of the Constitution of India, in Part VI, provides that every state shall have a Legislature consisting of the Governor and the House or Houses of the state. States with a Legislative Council have two Houses (the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council), while others have only the Legislative Assembly. It is therefore the article that constitutes the State Legislatures, including the Assemblies.
The neighbouring articles deal with details: Article 170 covers the composition of the Legislative Assemblies (between 60 and 500 members), Article 172 the duration of state legislatures (five years for an Assembly), and Article 174 the sessions, prorogation and dissolution. The provision establishing the State Legislatures is Article 168.
