Definition

A legislative system with only one chamber, because apparently some governments decided two houses was one too many places for politicians to accomplish nothing. It's democracy's studio apartment—more efficient, cheaper to maintain, but with half the space for checks and balances. Found mostly in smaller countries and U.S. states that decided Nebraska should be unique in some way.

Example Usage

Nebraska proudly maintains its unicameral legislature, proving you only need one chamber to gridlock legislation.
