=**Pennsylvania General Assembly**=

Each state has a lawmaking body that is the legislature for each state. While the U.S. Congress - the national level - the federal level - makes laws for the whole nation on issues such as national security, protection from terrorism, immigration, foreign policy, and public policy for the whole nation, the state legislatures deal with state issues such as education, prison systems, roads and transportation, and other state issues.

The states divide their legislatures into two chambers like the U.S. level. In PA, there is the Pennsylvania House of Reprsentatives and the Pennsylvania Seante. Both state chambers have state districts similar to the U.S. House of Representatives.
