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. Hope it helps

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.

What goal united the Democrats in the south in the late 1800s
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The Democrats in the south in the late 1800s were united by the goal of preventing black people from voting after the Reconstruction.

Explanation:

Southern Democrats were white men that believed in an equal political policy for all white men (opposed to the supremacy of elites, that is, reduced groups of powerful men). This was called Jacksonian Democracy since it was promoted by the seventh American president Andrew Jackson. However, they did not apply this idea of equality to all men since their goal in the late 1800s was to forbid black people to register and vote <em>after the Reconstruction period</em>. During this period slavery was ended and all former slaves were given certain civil rights. Before this era, especially during the first part of the 1800s, the Democrats promoted the expansion of slavery.
