"Similar to the British Lords/Commons?"

Yep, except that state senators and representatives of both political parties want bigger spending and more regulations than the general population wants. Oh...and yes, to serve their most influential local boss constituents by preventing new business competition. They'd probably like to raise property taxes tenfold and toss any peasant trying to build on private property into the Colosseum for the spectacle.
