bicameral government


 I think one of the main reasons the constitution adopted the form of bicameral government so quickly was that it was a compromise between two of the proposed plans, The New Jersey Plan and The Virginia Plan. In the bicameral system everyone has equal say in the senate and states with more people have bigger influence in the house. It just makes sense. Also two houses allow the one to keep the other in check. Another reason for adopting it was that Great Britain had been using it since the 1300’s and they saw that this section  of their government was good.
