Legislative processes differ significantly between bicameral and unicameral systems, affecting how laws are proposed, debated, and enacted. In bicameral systems, such as those found in the United States, legislation must pass through two separate chambers, which can provide checks and balances but also lead to prolonged deliberation and potential gridlock. Unicameral systems, conversely, streamline the legislative process by consolidating authority within a single chamber, allowing for more efficient lawmaking. However, this can also reduce the diversity of perspectives represented in legislative discussions, impacting the depth of policy formulation.
