bicameral
의미: Having two legislative chambers or houses, such as the House of Commons and the House of Lords in the United Kingdom.
A bicameral legislature divides legislative power between two separate chambers, typically with different compositions and functions. In the UK, the bicameral Parliament consists of the elected House of Commons and the unelected House of Lords. The opposite is 'unicameral,' describing a legislature with a single chamber. Bicameralism is designed to provide checks and balances and allow for more thorough legislative scrutiny.
