Why did some leaders believe that unicameral legislatures created more democratic governments?

History

Answer:   Because all the members of the single house are elected by the people.

Context/detail:

The Articles of Confederation, which preceded the creating of the Constitution of the United States, employed a unicameral (single house) legislature.  In the end, the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787 decided to go with a bicameral (two-house) legislature as a compromise between small states vs. large states in regard to representation.  "The Great Compromise," as it became known, resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states.  The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size.  The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation.  The Great Compromise created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature.  Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population.  In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.  In the original US Constitution, each state's senators were selected by that state's legislature, not directly elected by the people.  The 17th Amendment changed that, so that now US Senators are also directly elected by the people.  But we retain the two-house legislature as a way of balancing power between states with high populations and those with lower populations.

To some leaders, lawmaking was more efficient and faster when debated and voted for in only one chamber,as provided for in an unicameral legislature. This made the law responsive to changes in public opinion, involving them in the law making and amendment process. This therefore advocates for the availability of democracy in any particular society,creating more democratic governments.

Answer:

Factories, Mines, and Child Labor

The Industrial Revolution created a great deal of change in society.

One major change was the shift from work being done at home by

hand in cottage industries to work being done in factories. There

were harsh and unsafe working conditions in these early factories.

The machines posed a significant threat to workers’ lives. Even more

deadly was work performed in coal mines. Owners of mines and

factories had considerable control over the lives of laborers who

worked long hours for low pay. An average worker would work 14

hours a day, six days a week. Fearful of losing their jobs, workers

would typically not complain about the horrible conditions and low

pay. Owners realized that they could pay women and children less

than men. Child labor increased because it kept the costs of

production low and the profits high. As a result, the working class

lived in poverty, while the bosses who made up the middle class

grew wealthy.
