Advantages: 1) Proposed legislation can be enacted more rapidly, since bills don't have to be reconciled by two chambers. 2)Since only one body is responsible for legislation, there is greater transpearancy and accountability 3)It's easier and cheaper to maintain a legislature with only one chamber and thus fewer representatives. Disadvantages: 1) A smaller legislature means a weaker power check on the executive. 2) Without the check and balance that a second chamber would provide, a unicameral legislature often has difficulty hindering the passage of flawed legislation 3) A unicameral legislature doesn't effectivly accomodate the vast and diverse constituancies that a large nation has, thus unicameral systems are typically only found in smaller and more culturally homogenous nations. it rulez
