Bicameral legislature: A legislature divided into two houses. The U.S Congress and all state legislatures except Nebraska's are bicameral. This was created by The Connecticut Compromise. This bicameral Congress guarantees each state two senators, and a number of representatives based on the population of the state. This structure sets up another check and balance for the American government.
