The main reasons the bicameral Congress of the United States (consisting of two chambers: Senate and House of Representatives) was created are the following:

  • To prevent tyranny

The separation of powers was aimed to prevent tyranny. A unicameral legislature would mean to put too much power in one institution. However, with these two legislation, each can be checked by the other, and laws must be approved by both before they can be presented for executive approval.

  • British government model

Though American had gained independence of Britain, they got their inspiration from many of their laws in matters related to their government, including the inclusion of two houses. The British Parliament had two houses: the House of Lords (Composed of representatives of the aristocracy) and the House of Commons (Led with representatives of the people)

  • To ensure fair representation of every American state

With a bicameral Congress, representation had a balance between statehood and population. Representation in the House was based on a state's population, and representation in the Senate is equal for every state. This accomplishment wouldn't have been possible with a unicameral Congress and would have been unfair to large and small states.

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The Supreme Court case known as Kelo v. City of New London was controversial because it allowed greater use of the power of eminent domain.

Explanation:

Kelo v. City of New London is a judgment of the US Supreme Court on whether the government can expropriating private property and transferring it to another private entity, with the purpose of economic development of the city. The plaintiff, Kelo, was the resident of the requisitioned land, and the defendant was the municipality of New London, Connecticut. On June 23, 2005, the latest judgment of the US Supreme Court on this case attracted wide attention. This case involved a “paid collection” of land. According to the latest judgment of the US Supreme Court, local municipalities have the power to impose private land for commercial development – as long as such development falls within the category of “public use”. The Supreme Court ruled that “the city’s planned deployment of land acquisition is in line with 'public use' and within the meaning of the Fifth Amendment clause.” Therefore, the case also triggered a new round of discussions on how to implement the Fifth Amendment, how to explain it, and how to use it.
