Legislature \Leg"is*la`ture\ (l[e^]j"[i^]s*l[=a]`t[-u]r; 135),
n. [Cf. F. l['e]gislature.]
The body of persons in a state or kingdom invested with power
to make and repeal laws; a legislative body.
[1913 Webster]
Without the concurrent consent of all three parts of
the legislature, no law is, or can be, made. --Sir M.
Hale.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The legislature of Great Britain consists of the Lords
and Commons, with the king or queen, whose sanction is
necessary to every bill before it becomes a law. The
legislatures of most of the United States consist of
two houses or branches; but the sanction or consent of
the governor is required to give their acts the force
of law, or a concurrence of two thirds of the two
houses after he has refused his sanction and assigned
his objections.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The legislatures of some of the more important states
having constitutional government are as follows, the
general name (or a translation of it) of the
legislative body collectively being given under the
heading legislature, or parliament: StateLegislature,

*In the self-governing colonies of Great Britain the
legislative body usually consists of two chambers, the
names of the legislature and the chambers varying. Thus
in Australia the Federal Parliament is composed of the
Senate and the House of Commons, in New Zealand the
General Assembly is composed of the Legislative Council
and the House of Representatives, etc. #Members of the
Storthing are chosen for three years by direct election
by manhood suffrage, forty-one being elected from the
towns and eighty-two from the rural districts. The
Storthing on assembling divides into the Lagthing
including one fourth and the Odelsthing including three
fourths of the total membership of the Storthing. All
new laws are laid first before the Odelsthing. If the
two houses do not agree they vote in joint session, a
majority of two thirds of those voting being necessary
to a decision. [sect] While theoretically general, the
suffrage is so classified as often practically to
disfranchise those who are not property holders.
[Webster 1913 Suppl.]

3. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
LEGISLATURE, government. That body of men in the state which has the power
of making laws.
2. By the Constitution of the United States, art. 1, s. 1, all
legislative powers granted by it are vested in a congress of the United
States, which shall consist of a senate and house of representatives.
3. It requires the consent of a majority of each branch of the
legislature in order to enact a law, and then it must be approved by the
president of the United States, or in case of his refusal, by two-thirds of
each house. Const. U. S. art. 1, s. 7, 2.
4. Most of the constitutions of the several states, contain provisions
nearly similar to this. In general, the legislature will not exercise
judicial functions; yet the use of supreme power upon particular occasions,
is not without example. Vide Judicial.
