Bicameral Legislature

A bicameral legislature is a system of government where the legislative body is divided into two separate chambers or houses. This structure helps ensure a check and balance within the law-making process. Typically, one house represents the population (like the House of Representatives) and the other represents regions or states (like the Senate). Both houses must agree on proposed laws for them to be enacted, which encourages thorough debate and consideration of different perspectives. Many countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, use a bicameral system to create fairer and more comprehensive legislation.
