Which type(s) of Legislatures can a state have under the Indian Constitution?
Either a single-house or two-house systems
Article 168 of the Constitution provides for the legislature of every state, allowing it to be either unicameral or bicameral.
A unicameral (single-house) legislature has only a Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha), while a bicameral (two-house) legislature also has a Legislative Council (Vidhan Parishad). Most states are unicameral, but a few — such as Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh — have a Council as well.
Hence, a state can have either a single-house or a two-house legislature.
