Transcript text: Which of the following is the correct definition of the term unicameral? a legislature that has only one body
Solution
Answer
The answer is a legislature that has only one body.
Explanation
Option 1: each citizen gets only one vote
This option is incorrect because it describes a principle of voting rights, not the structure of a legislature.
Option 2: each state gets only one senator
This option is incorrect because it describes a specific representation rule, not the structure of a legislature.
Option 3: each district appoints only one representative
This option is incorrect because it describes a method of representation, not the structure of a legislature.
Option 4: a legislature that has only two bodies
This option is incorrect because it describes a bicameral legislature, not a unicameral one.
Option 5: a legislature that has only one body
This option is correct because a unicameral legislature is defined as a legislative body with a single chamber. Examples include the Nebraska Legislature in the United States and the National Assembly of Hungary.
