The correct answer is A) The functions of state legislatures include <u>Lawmaking</u>
Explanation:
The State Legislature is on a State level what what the Congress is in the Federal Government. Both bodies have a function of passing new rules and laws that govern their jurisdictions.
The first 'Legislature' was formed before the United States was a country. This was way back in 1619 in Virginia. Even back then, the colonists had developed a local system of passing laws to ensure the running of local affairs.
