  • Introduction to the Legislature
    A Citizen’s Guide to Participation in the Wisconsin State Legislature Prepared by the Wisconsin Legislative Council Staff, 2019 Introduction to the Legislature Wisconsin has a tripartite form of government with three separate but equal branches—the legislative, the executive, and the judicial. Wisconsin’s Constitution creates a separation of powers between the three branches, giving each branch exclusive “core powers,” in which other branches may not intrude. As it relates to the Legislature, the Wisconsin Constitution states: “The legislative power shall be vested in a senate and assembly.” The Wisconsin Legislature is bicameral, meaning that it has two houses, with the power to create, amend, and repeal laws. The two houses are the Wisconsin State Assembly and the Wisconsin State Senate. Wisconsin is divided into 33 Senate districts, with roughly equal populations, and each Senate district is divided into three Assembly districts. Thus, the Senate consists of 33 senators and the Assembly consists of 99 representatives. Senators serve four-year terms and representatives serve two-year terms. All 99 representatives are elected in November of each even-numbered year. Senators’ terms are staggered, so half of the senators are elected in one legislative election and the other half are elected two years later, in the next election. FUNCTIONS OF THE LEGISLATURE LEGISLATION The Legislature’s principal function is lawmaking, which it accomplishes through legislation. The Legislature passes bills to create, amend, and repeal laws. Most of the laws are codified in the Wisconsin statutes, the state’s legal code. In addition to passing bills, the Legislature adopts resolutions, which are used for a variety of purposes, including amending the Wisconsin Constitution.
