Bicameral Congress

The British Parliament was already thinking of a Bicameral since the 1300s and also most Americans knew the Bicameral system quite well. There's only one state that has a unicameral legislature and that's Nebraska.


According to this the most populous states wanted to distribute seats in congress in proportion to the population of each state according to the book. The smaller states demanded an equal voice in congress and Bicameralism is a reflection of federalism, each state is represented equally and in the line with its population.


The framers did favor a bicameral congress. Thomas Jefferson and George Washington sat down and discussed that Washington was opposed to a two chambered legislature which they made their point while they drank coffee. The framers saw bicameralism as a way to diffuse the power of congress. It seems that the population is getting bigger because of bicameral congress. Just remember if the states had not been equally represented in the senate, there would never have been a constitution - page 263


I believe the state should do what they feel is the best way to handle things, if they think it's a good idea then go for it, they say the first choice is always the best choice.
