State legislative branches and the federal government's legislative branch share a bicameral structure, similar functions in law-making and representation, and a system of checks and balances. Both operate within a framework designed to ensure that elected officials represent the interests of the citizens they serve. Procedurally, state legislatures often model their systems after those of Congress, reinforcing these similarities.
