Notes: Prior to the Constitution of 1868: the lower house of the North Carolina Legislature was known as the House of Commons and the leader of the Senate was called the Speaker of the Senate.
This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state=parameter may be used:
{{North Carolina State Legislatures|state=collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.
{{North Carolina State Legislatures|state=expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
