The '''Tamil Nadu Legislature''' is the [[unicameral]] [[legislature]] of the [[India]]n [[states of India|state]] of [[Tamil Nadu]]. The Legislature is composed of [[Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly]] and the [[Governor of Tamil Nadu]]
 
Until 1 November 1986, the Tamil Nadu Legislature was a bicameral legislature consisting of:
* the [[Tamil Nadu Legislative Council]], the [[upper house]],
* the [[Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly]], the [[lower house]], and
* the [[Governor of Tamil Nadu]]
 
In 2010, the erstwhile [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (DMK) Government took steps to revive the Tamil Nadu Legislative Council and convert the legislature back into a bicameral one, but the administration left power during this time and was unable to continue. The [[All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (AIADMK) Government which assumed power in 2011, expressed its intent not to revive the Tamil Nadu Legislative Council.
