1.	Discuss three disadvantages of a unicameral legislature.
Answer» Unicameral system of parliament is the practice of having one legislative or parliamentary house. This system typically exists in small and homogeneous unitary states. Examples of countries that exercise unicameral system include the People’s Republic of China. If there is only one house, then the house in course of time may become arrogant. It may act arbitrarily and become autocratic. Modem states are complex societies. They require more laws of complex matters to be made. A single house cannot give adequate time for thorough discussion as to the making of those complex laws. A second chamber would reduce the burden of a single chamber considerably. Unicameralism does not provide any opportunity for revision of bills. The single chamber may pass have and ill-considered bills. It may be swayed away by emotion and passion.
