TheRajasthan Legislative Assembly (ISO:Rājāsthān Vidhān Sabhā), is the unicameral legislature of thestate ofRajasthan. It is a vital part of thestate government, responsible for making and implementing laws.

The formation of the House of People's Representatives in Rajasthan is significant in Indian Constitutional history since it was the result of the merging of 22princely states of the formerRajputana with theUnion of India.
As per the provision of Article 168 of India's newly framed constitution, each state was required to form a legislature consisting of one or two Houses. Rajasthan chose unicameralism for its legislature, which is known as the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly.
The First Rajasthan Legislative Assembly (1952–57) was inaugurated on 31 March 1952. It had a strength of 160 members. The strength was increased in 1957 after the merger of the erstwhileAjmer State with Rajasthan in 1956. The Second (1957–62) and Third (1962–67) Legislative Assemblies had a strength of 176. The Fourth (1967–72) and Fifth (1972–77) Legislative Assembly comprised 184 members each. The strength became 200 from the Sixth (1977–80) Legislative Assembly onwards.[1][2]
Article 194 of theIndian Constitution specifies the powers, privileges, and immunities of the House of Legislature, as well as its members and committees.
