  • 2010 Kentucky General Assembly Directory Visitor’S Guide
    2010 Kentucky General Assembly Directory Visitor’s Guide February 2010 Paid for with state funds. Available in alternative form by request. Legislative Research Commission LRC Legislative Research Commission Foreword When the fi rst Kentucky General Assembly met in 1792, its members chose the term “commonwealth” to describe Kentucky. While there is no legal difference between a commonwealth and a state, Kentucky’s early leaders perhaps wanted to assert an indepen- dence of ideals and governance. By defi nition, a commonwealth is a political unit founded on law, united for the common good, and with supreme authority vested in the people. This ultimately de- fi nes Kentucky: government by the people and for the people. Like most states, Kentucky has a part-time citizen legislature with members from diverse backgrounds and communities. All 138 members, however, serve year-round as legislators, representing constituents, helping them solve problems, and studying new ideas. Of Kentucky’s three branches of government—execu- tive, judicial, and legislative—the legislative is the one closest to the people and the one into which Kentuck- ians have the most direct input. Consequently, it is benefi cial to both the legislature and our citizens that the work of the General Assembly be understood and the legislative process be used to its full potential.
