West Virginia Legislature
The
West Virginia Legislature
is the
state legislature
of the
U.S. state
of
West Virginia
. A
bicameral
legislative body, the Legislature is split between the
upper
Senate
and the
lower
House of Delegates
. It was established under Article VI of the
West Virginia Constitution
following the state's split from
Virginia
during the
American Civil War
in 1863. As with its neighbor and former constituent
Virginia General Assembly
, the legislature's lower house is also referred to as a "House of Delegates."
