Unicameralism is a system of government that features a single legislative chamber, as opposed to a bicameral system, which has two separate chambers. This structure allows for more streamlined decision-making and can lead to faster legislative processes. Countries or regions that adopt unicameralism often do so to reduce complexity and improve efficiency in governance.
One notable example of unicameralism is the Nebraska Legislature, which is the only fully unicameral state legislature in the United States. In this system, all lawmakers work together in one chamber, eliminating the need for a second house to review legislation. This can simplify the legislative process and reduce costs associated with maintaining multiple chambers.
