Final answer:

The false statement about California's Legislature is that it has the largest number of members of all the 50 states, which actually applies to New Hampshire's House of Representatives.

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the following statements are TRUE about California's Legislature EXCEPT:

  • California's legislature includes the state Senate and the State Assembly.
  • It has the largest number of members of all the 50 states.
  • Members are elected in single-member districts.
  • Members are subject to term limits.

Statement b) is the only statement that is FALSE. While California's legislature is indeed large, it is not the largest. That distinction goes to New Hampshire's House of Representatives, which has 400 members. California's legislature, in contrast, consists of a State Assembly with 80 members and a State Senate with 40 members.

The state Senate and the State Assembly indeed constitute California's bicameral legislature, members are elected in single-member districts, and they are subject to term limits—all true statements about the California Legislature.
