Unicameral Legislature

A unicameral legislature is a type of government body that consists of one single chamber or house responsible for making laws. Unlike a bicameral system, which has two separate chambers (like the U.S. Congress, with the House of Representatives and the Senate), a unicameral legislature streamlines the legislative process by having all lawmakers meet together in one assembly. This setup can lead to more efficient decision-making and quicker passage of legislation since there’s no need for a second house to review or approve bills. Examples of regions with unicameral legislatures include Nebraska in the United States and several other countries.
