The Legislature of Liberia is bicameral, consisting of a Senate (upper house) and House of Representatives (lower house), same as the Congress of the United States.

Since late 2003, a unicameral National Transitional Legislative Assembly (NTLA) has functioned in place of the Legislature, although elections have recently taken place and the elected members will take office shortly.
