Bicameral Legislature

Constitution immediately established bicameralism in the legislative branch because it was something that was familiar to most Americans, two bodies would be able to settle the conflict between the Virginia and New Jersey Plans, and because one house might act as a check on the other. All of these reasons led to the establishment of bicameralism in the legislative branch. Due to this being established, each of the states is represented equally in the Senate and also represented according to its population, therefore benefiting states of all population sizes.

                I think that this establishment has played a big part in shaping politics today. The bicameral legislature has limited the power of Congress and prevented Congress from holding power over the other two branches of the government. The bicameral legislative branch has been very good for people of smaller populated states because they receive equal representation, and also benefits largely populated states by giving them more house members. I think that the two body system has greatly benefited our country and was a great establishment.
