What is the purpose of the Indiana State House?

What is the purpose of fair laws in our state? Laws can affect the lives of those citizens that live in Indiana. Think of a law that would be really unfair.

How are we protected from unfair laws? There are three branches of government that prevent one branch from becoming too powerful and creating unfair laws.

Legislative Branch is made up of two houses. The Senate- 50 members who serve four year terms. The House of Representatives- 100 members who serve two-year terms. Both houses are voted by voters living in their assigned district.
