Limited partnerships must consist of a least one person who is the GENERAL partner and one person who is a LIMITED partner.

A GENERAL partner is essentially like a partner in a general partnership. They have all the rights and powers to manage and bind the limited partnership. Importantly their liability is UNLIMITED. On the other hand, the LIMITED partner is a silent partner. They don’t get involved in controlling the business of the partnership and their liability is generally LIMITED to the value of money and other property which they contributed to the limited partnership.
