Nebraska

From Judgepedia

Nebraska's government operates under the framework of the Nebraska Constitution, adopted in 1875.

Nebraska is the only state in the United States with a unicameral legislature. Although this house is officially known simply as the "Legislature", and more commonly called the "Unicameral", its members still call themselves "senators". Nebraska's Legislature is also the only state legislature in the United States that is nonpartisan.
