| | Unicameral or Bicameral State Legislatures - House Research |
| | Unicameralism is a radical departure from 200 years of American political and governmental practice. | | | Unicameralists say that unicameral legislatures are an established and proven form of state, local, and private governance in the United States and other democratic nations. | | | Although the authority of legislators in a unicameral system is not limited by a second house, members are nonetheless constrained by powerful countervailing external forces: they are more accountable to the electorate; and the executive veto and judicial review remain as constitutional protections against legislative excess. |
