Unicameralism is the practice of having only one legislative or parliamentary chamber.[1]
Nebraska
Nebraska is the only U.S. state with a unicameral legislature. Nebraska's state legislature is also unique in the sense that it is the only state legislature that is entirely nonpartisan.[2]
Michigan unicameral petition drive
An unsuccessful effort to collect petition signatures was launched in January 2006 by Unicameral Michigan, a ballot question committee registered with the State of Michigan, to provide for an amendment to the state's constitution to change from a bicameral to a unicameral legislature. It failed to qualify for the November 2006 ballot.[3]
