AB  - Since the 1990´s decade State Congresses have grown in plurality
of representation across the country. Despite the political competition,
state´s legislatures have been scarcely analyzed. Even more, the
extent and role of legislatures in the policymaking process has not
been studied from the perspective of the effective power of the legislatures
to participate in the policymaking process and its relation with
the executive branch. This article presents a fi rst examination of the
role of state congresses in the legislative activity and their relation
with state´s executives. We consider eight cases that combine divided
and unifi ed governments, and we analyze the initiatives production
in the last two legislatures of each case. The main fi ndings, so far, do
not provide a clear tendency that allows us to demonstrate that there
are real and contrasting changes between divided and unifi ed governments
in legislative activity.
