Massachusetts General Court

mini|Das Massachusetts State House Der Massachusetts General Court (formal ''The General Court of Massachusetts'') ist die oberste legislative Behörde des Commonwealth of Massachusetts, eines Bundesstaats der Vereinigten Staaten. Der Name ''General Court'' stammt dabei noch aus den Anfängen der Massachusetts Bay Colony, in denen dort neben der Gesetzgebung auch gerichtliche Verfahren durchgeführt wurden.

Vor der Übernahme der bundesstaatlichen Verfassung im Jahr 1780 war die Bezeichnung ''Great and General Court'', jedoch wurde diese von John Adams, dem Autor der Verfassung von Massachusetts, wahrscheinlich aus Vereinfachungsgründen gekürzt. Das Parlament besteht aus einem Zweikammersystem: Das Oberhaus ist der aus 40 Mitgliedern zusammengesetzte Senat, das Unterhaus wird vom Repräsentantenhaus mit 160 Mitgliedern (bis 1978 noch aus 240 Mitgliedern bestehend) gebildet. Das Parlament tritt im Massachusetts State House im Bostoner Stadtteil Beacon Hill zusammen.

Gegenwärtige Präsidentin des Senats ist seit dem 21. März 2007 Therese Murray, der Speaker of the House ist seit dem 27. Januar 2009 Robert DeLeo. Die Demokratische Partei hält in beiden Kammern die qualifizierte Mehrheit.

Senatoren und Repräsentanten werden für einen Zeitraum von zwei Jahren gewählt. Veröffentlicht in Wikipedia
