A bicameral legislature is a government assembly with two chambers or houses. In the United States, the two chambers are the Senate, with an equal number of members representing each state, and the House, with the number of members being proportionate to the states' populations. Having two chambers set up gives two opinions on legislation, though critics argue it leads to political deadlock.
