As cities and their problems grew rapidly the political environment changed. No longer did politicians run small manageable cities. These were big cities with big city problems and the government structures designed to cope with these problems grew. As the government grew it became the livelihood for many professional politicians. Some would argue that these politicians were corrupt, they would argue that they provided a needed service. Political Machines were orgainizations that provided social services and jobs in exchange foir votes. The machines were run by a boss who in turn had precinct captains, ward captains and district captains underneath him. All of them made sure that the poor has what they needed. They also made sure the poor voted... for them!

What are the advantages of a bicameral [two houses/governing bodies] structure of Congress proposed by the Constitution as oppos
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The structure of Congress under the Articles of Confederation was unicameral: each state had between two and seven congressmen, depending on state's population, and was appointed directly by each state legislature.

This structure favored the most populated states such as Pennsylvania over the least populated, because the more populated a state, the more delegates it could send to Congress.

When the US Constitution was ratified, Congress became bicameral mainly for two reasons:

  1. To give both the most populated states and the least populated states fair representation. This was achieved by implementing the Connecticut Compromise: The Senate was meant to equally favor each state, regarless of population, thus, each state was entitled to two senators. And The House was designed to favor the most populated states: House representatives are proportional to population.
  2. To further the development of checks and balances. A unicameral Congress is more powerful than a bicameral Congress. Both House and the Senate have some specific powers, but for most issues, they have to work together. This avoids concentration of power.

These two points can be thought of as the advantages the US Congress under the current constitution has over the previous Congress under the Articles of Confederation.
