What does Unicameral mean?

• A. Having two legislative chambers
• B. Having one legislative chamber
• C. A parliamentary system
• D. A federal system

Answer: (B)

Unicameral describes a legislature that has only one chamber. In other words, laws are debated and approved by a single house. This is different from a bicameral system, where two separate chambers (such as a Senate and a House) review and pass laws. A parliamentary system is about how the executive is chosen and relates to the relationship between the legislature and the head of government, not the number of chambers. A federal system refers to how power is divided between national and regional governments, which is also unrelated to the number of legislative chambers. So the statement that best matches the term is having one legislative chamber.
