A State Senator is a member of a state Senate, the upper legislative chamber in the government of a U.S. state.
There are typically fewer state senators than there are members of a state House of Representatives. In the past, this meant that senators represented various regions within a state, regardless of the population, as a way of balancing the power of the House of Representatives which was apportioned according to population. But in 1963, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that state legislatures must apportion seats in both houses according to population.
Nebraska is the only state that has a unicameral form of government with only one legislative chamber. Although this chamber is essentially a state House of Representatives, these legislators are called "state senators."
After the state's secession from the Union on January 19, 1861, there were several newspaper reports of secession flags consisting of a single star on a solid background.
Perhaps because the 1879 flag was devoid of state symbols, the Georgia General Assembly in 1902 stipulated: "On the blue field shall be stamped, painted or embroidered the coat of arms of the State." The few surviving flags from this era show a coat of arms on the blue vertical band.
Georgia's secretary of state may have ordered—or at least approved—the change, because the first state publication to show the seal on the flag was the 1927 volume of the Georgia Official Register, published by the secretary of state.
The great central plain of the State, lying between the mountainous districts of the south and west and the Great Lakes and the Adirondacks and the eastern mountain ranges on the north and east, is renowned for the fertility of its soil and the extent of its manufactures.
The population of the State of New York itself increased from 340,120 in 1790 to 1,918,608 in 1830.
It enacted that the law of the State should be constituted of the Common Law of England and of the Acts of the Legislature of the Colony of New York, as together forming the law of the colony on 19 April, 1775 (the day of the battle of Concord and Lexington).
