Abstract
When it comes to research, state legislatures are often forgotten. Congress seems to be far more appealing to researchers. For that reason, there needs to be a great deal more research to see how different factors, from majority composition, term limits, and professionalism, affect state legislatures. Additionally, much of the research that has been conducted has been contradictory. It appears that the duration of research and which states are studied can account for this contradiction. Unfortunately, it seems when making a statement about state legislatures, data from every state should be used because state legislatures are such vastly different institutions. This paper discusses the impact of factors on how much legislation three state legislatures pass.
