A man who uses a great many words to express his meaning is like a bad marksman who instead of aiming a single stone at an object takes up a handful and throws at it in hopes he may hit.

A unicameral legislature consists of only one chamber, or legislative house. When it began, the U.S. had a unicameral legislature, but then soon changed to a bicameral legislature, a two-house Congress made up of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

With the exception of Nebraska, that operates with a unicameral legislature, every state in America is bicameral. Historical review
