Hawaii State Legislature
The Hawaii State Legislature is the state legislature of the U.S. state of Hawaii. The state legislature is a bicameral body consisting of a lower house, the Hawaii State House of Representatives, with 51 representatives, and an upper house, the 25-member Hawaii State Senate. There are a total of 76 representatives in the legislature, each representing single member districts across the islands. The powers of the legislature are granted under Article III of the Constitution of Hawaii.
The legislature convenes at the Hawaii State Capitol building in the state capital of Honolulu, on the island of Oahu.
==History==
The legislature is a descendant of the two houses of parliament for the Kingdom of Hawaii, the Legislature of the Hawaiian Kingdom, created in the 1840 constitution, consisting of the House of Representatives and the House of Nobles. Following the fall of the kingdom, in 1894 the legislature became the legislative body of the Republic of Hawaii, and shortly afterwards the Territory of Hawaii. The current legislature was created following the passage of the federal Hawaii Admission Act in 1959.
