The Nebraska Legislature
The Nebraska Legislature is the only unicameral in the United States, which means it only has one houseāmost states have two, a House and a Senate.
Its members are called āsenatorsā, and the legislature officially recognized no party affiliation. With 49 members, it is also the smallest state legislature of any U.S. state.
