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. Samuel Johnson. Words, like glasses, obscure everything they do not make clear. Before using a fine word, make a place for it.
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.
The legislature also approves a state's budget and initiates tax legislation and articles of impeachment. The latter is part of a system of checks and balances among the three branches of government that mirrors the federal system and prevents any branch from abusing its power.Except for one state, Nebraska, all states have a bicameral legislature made up of two chambers: a smaller upper house and a larger lower house.he latter is part of a system of checks and balances among the three branches of government that mirrors the federal system and prevents any branch from abusing its power.
