Legislative
Each state has a leader called a Governor. States also have two Senators. They meet together in Washington D.C., in a group called the Senate, to make laws. Representatives from each state also have meetings in a group that is called the House of Representatives. The Senate and the House of Representatives are often called the Congress. Congress has their meetings in the Capitol building.
