which of the following is not a characteristic of an amateur legislature?

An amateur legislature is typically characterized by part-time legislators who hold other jobs, low salaries for lawmakers, infrequent and short legislative sessions, and limited staff and institutional resources. The characteristic that is NOT typical of an amateur legislature is having high salary and professional, full-time legislators. Such traits are instead associated with a professional legislature. Therefore, "high salary and full-time commitment from legislators" is not a characteristic of an amateur legislature. Amateur legislatures usually have low salaries and part-time commitments from their members.
