Which term refers to the combined houses of Georgia's legislature?

• A. State Agencies
• B. Legislation
• C. General Assembly
• D. Committee

Answer: (C)

The combined houses of Georgia's legislature are called the General Assembly. This name refers to both the Senate and the House of Representatives working together as one lawmaking body. The General Assembly is the state’s legislative branch, and it handles introducing, debating, and voting on laws, as well as approving the state budget. The two chambers have their own leaders and rules, but they come together to form the General Assembly when they act on legislation.

State agencies are parts of the executive branch or independent bodies that carry out laws, not the legislature itself. Legislation refers to the laws themselves or the process of making them, not the legislative body. A committee is a smaller group within the legislature that studies and reports on bills, rather than the entire combined houses.
