Israel's legislature is "unicameral", that is, consisting of a single house. The Parliament is known as the "KNESSET", a Hebrew word that you would translate as "Assembly" or "gathering". The Knesset serves as the Legislative Branch and the Prime Minister derived from the Knesset also has Executive Functions.
Bicameral
All states in the United States have bicameral legislatures except for Nebraska, which has a unicameral legislature. Nebraska's legislature, known as the Nebraska Legislature or Unicameral, is unique in that it consists of a single chamber with no separate house or senate. This system was established to promote efficiency and reduce the influence of special interests.
From its one chamber the legislature of the Second Continental Congress exercised both legislative and executive powers. Therefore, it is known as a unicameral legislature.
Yes. The Articles of Confederation outlined that the United States should be governed by a one-house legislature, known commonly as the Confederation Congress.
A single-chamber legislature, also known as a unicameral legislature, is a legislative body that consists of only one chamber or house. This system simplifies the legislative process, allowing for quicker decision-making and reducing the potential for conflict between two separate chambers. Unicameral legislatures are often seen in smaller countries or regions, and they can enhance accountability since all members are part of the same legislative body. Examples include the Nebraska Legislature in the United States and the National Assembly of Hungary.

The plan in which all states were represented equally in the legislature is known as the New Jersey Plan. Proposed during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, it aimed to maintain the structure of the Articles of Confederation by providing each state with one vote in a unicameral legislature, regardless of population size. This plan was favored by smaller states that feared losing influence in a system based on population. Ultimately, a compromise led to the creation of a bicameral legislature, balancing both proportional and equal representation.

The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, combined the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan. The Virginia Plan proposed a bicameral legislature with representation based on population, favoring larger states. In contrast, the New Jersey Plan called for a unicameral legislature with equal representation for each state, benefiting smaller states. The compromise established a bicameral legislature with the House of Representatives based on population and the Senate providing equal representation for all states.
