What are the benefits of a bicameral legislative branch?
89558
A bicameral legislative branch allows for states with a smaller population to have a more equal voice in government.  If laws were only written and passed by a representative branch then the larger states would have the most say in legislation, thus being able to force their issues to the front to the detriment of the lower population states.\n\nBy having an branch that puts all states on an equal footing, lower population states can excercise power to ensure that their needs are not trampled by the needs of larger populations.

Both the executive and legislative branches can make laws; but its the legislative branch's primary function. The judiciary branch is supposed to apply the law..... but they seem to be creating it these days. :(\n\nEver heard of the Executive Order? The president's legislative ability is limited, but he has it nonetheless.

Legislative branch is the easiest to lobby.  If you are a citizen then you call or mail or email your representative and ask them to vote a certain way on a bill.  If you are a paid lobbyist then you take the legislator out to lunch and buy them expensive things like vacations, and ask them to give your business a multi-million dollar tax break, or whatever it is that you want.\n\nYou lobby the executive branch the same way, by writing or calling the mayor/governor/president.  And you can tell them your concerns and town meetings, provided they are actual forums and not just staged events.\n\nThe judicial branch is hardest to lobby, partly because it's illegal.  You can pay off a corrupt local judge to get you out of a traffic ticket, and the vice president can go hunting with a supreme court justice to ensure that the supreme court finds no ethical wrong-doing.

The major advantages are that there an unlimited number of members allowed, there is generally no personal liability of the members, the entity is not taxed (profits and losses are passed through to the members), ease in filing with the states, and it is generally run through a Manager, rather than a board of directors (great for small companies or one that you wish to be similar to a closely-held corporation)

Things get done quickly and relatively efficiently without the need to vote on things.  Since all of the power is with one person, if the one person is good, then things will be very good.  Of course, there's the downside if the one person isn't that great.

Its a good start, Number one would solve most problems on its own. The rules I would like to add would be;\n5. Politics will become open and free for all people to have their say, a true democracy based on the right to attend law making debates to raise and vote on the issues  that concern you.\n6. Politicians will not be paid, but will only get expenses based on the average wage of a person from the area they represent

Advantages of a Unicameral System:\n\n    * There is the potential to enact proposed legislation more rapidly, since differences don’t have to be reconciled by two chambers.\n    * There is the potential of greater accountability, since only one body is responsible for legislation.\n    * It is less expensive to maintain one body and fewer legislative members. \n\nIn many cases, one chamber (usually the lower house) has the final say in determining the composition of a bill.\n\n    * In Slovenia, the upper house, National Council, has the power to veto any law within seven days of its adoption by the lower house, National Assembly. However, the National Assembly may override the veto with a simple majority.\n\n    * In Russia, the Federation Council (upper house) may reject a law passed by the Duma (lower house), but the Duma may override the Federation Council with a two-thirds majority.

While the Democrats control the House without question, the Senate is still undecided. Either way the president is now a lame duck. However, the label also applies to Democrats at this point. The reason is because the president can veto any legislation they attempt to pass. The conclusion here is don't count on anything substantive happening in government for the next 2 years unless the Democrats truly embrace bi-partisan legislation efforts.

Legislature, branch of government empowered to make, change, or repeal its laws and to levy and regulate its taxes. Most modern legislatures are representative: composed of many members who are chosen directly or indirectly by popular vote. Legislatures that provide direct representation are usually considered more democratic in practice because they are less susceptible to being dominated by a single faction.\n\nNearly all modern governments have a bicameral, or two-house, legislature. The so-called lower house is generally elected on a basis of direct representation; and the upper house commonly on a basis either of indirect representation or of direct representation limited to certain occupational, territorial, or hereditary categories. The traditional theoretical justification for an upper house is that it can exercise moderation and delay on legislation by the lower house and thus restrain the effects of impulsive or excessive fluctuations of public opinion. A few governments, however, including that of the state of Nebraska, have unicameral, or single-house, legislatures.\n\nThe various legislatures throughout the world are known by different names, such as Congress, Parliament, Knesset, Diet, and Assembly. Most are limited in their powers by the Constitution or organic law of the government of which they are a part. The enactments of the U.S. Congress, for example, can be vetoed by the president, and the Congress must approve by a two-thirds majority any bill it wishes to pass despite a presidential veto. The British Parliament, on the other hand, chooses its own prime minister and cabinet, who are ultimately responsible to it for all their administrative actions. Being legislative as well as executive or administrative leaders, these officials have considerable power to initiate and influence legislation desired by their administrative departments. The tendency in most modern governments has been toward increasing assumption of legislative powers by administrative officials, with a consequent weakening of the legislatures. Many political scientists ascribe this to growing public impatience with the uncertainties of party politics within legislatures. The trend is also attributed to the increasing complexity of modern government, which requires the use of people with specialized skills, often not found in publicly elected legislatures, for the drafting of laws\n\nMicrosoft ® Encarta ® 2006. © 1993-2005 Microsoft Corporation.

It is called Checks and Balances. This means that the Executive, Legislated and the Judicial Branches all check each other to ensure that one branch is not stronger than the other. Think about it if we only had one branch in government that branch would most likely abuse power.
