One of the reasons why some leaders believed that unicameral legislatures created more democratic governments was because bicameral ones often led to gridlock and political hardship.

Answer:   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.

You are a Roman living around a.d. 215. Write an essay about how the Roman empire has changed since the reign of Trajan. As an o
zavuch27 [327]

Answer: As a citizen, the reign of Trajan would affect you positively because he made many reforms and changes to benefit Roman life and conditions. Some of his projects include: improving the dilapidated road system, constructing aqueducts, building public baths and extending the port of Ostia. All of these things helped the people at the time and allowed for better living conditions and less filth by less people sharing one bath

Many things have changed since the last two centuries. Nerva revised taxes and made land reforms that were able to help the poor. Hadrian made Roman law easier to understand and apply to everyday life. Antoninus Pius Enacted laws that assisted Orphans. Marcus Aurelius reformed Roman law and assisted in uniting the empire's economy. Most importantly, Trajan Greatly expanded the empire and gave money for education.

The one that has affected me most as an ordinary citizen, is how Trajan Greatly expanded the empire and gave money for education. Being 12 years old, I greatly appreciate the changes he made to the education system. Without it, children my age would probably not be receiving the same quality of education, or even no education at all as I am. I have all the thanks to give him for helping the education system by donating a lot of money towards this cause.
