Legislative chamber
open-in-new
<p>A legislative chamber or house is a <a href="/facts/Deliberative_assembly/IkCkqD1C">deliberative assembly</a> within a <a href="/facts/Legislature/ycUCe91S">legislature</a> which generally meets and votes separately from the legislature's other chambers. Legislatures are usually <a href="/facts/Unicameralism/Uv6VUhG4">unicameral</a>, consisting of only one chamber, or <a href="/facts/Bicameralism/qdbjFfpm">bicameral</a>, consisting of two, but there are rare examples of <a href="/facts/Tricameralism/dIgHUSj7">tricameral</a> and <a href="/facts/Tetracameralism/jYGHKbTx">tetracameral</a> legislatures. The <a href="/facts/Socialist_Federal_Republic_of_Yugoslavia/PXRlHx9q">Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia</a> is the only country documented as having a <a href="/facts/Pentacameralism/jYGHKbTx">pentacameral</a> (later <a href="/facts/Hexacameralism/jYGHKbTx">hexacameral</a>) legislature. </p>
