∙ 13y agoBicameral refers to the structure of congress into two legislative bodies: 1) House of Representatives (with Congressmen/congresswomen) and 2) Senate (with Senators). Some states/countries have only one such body and are unicameral.

This division aims to ensure that both small and large states have a say in the legislative process.

Second, they intended to reserve space for specialists (one might even say 'elites') in the governance of the nation, hence their formation of the Senate.
