Answer:

Delaware and Pennsylvania.

Explanation:

Today, 49 states have bicameral legislatures, and one--Nebraska--is unicameral. This was not always the case, however. Most of the American colonies were governed by one-house legislatures, but this gradually shifted. By 1763, only two colonies (Delaware and Pennsylvania) continued to use unicameral legislatures.

Answer:The Articles of Confederation was unicameral because the member states, the 13 colonies, wanted equal representation.  The main reason was to set down in a document, what the new government body could and could not do.  The system was really based on what would later be called states' rights.   The weaknesses included, no taxation so that there was no central government to direct national activities, no common currency.  Each state operated their own banks and some states didn't recognize other states' decrees or documents.  Further, each state had their own laws and the laws of the states overrode the laws of the article of confederation.  The constitution fixed most of these problems.  First, the Constitution made representation an issue.  Instead of the two representatives for each state there would be representation based on the total population of the states based on the censuses that would be conducted, then the representation would be based on individual state populations.  The two per state became the Senate, chosen originally by the legislatures of the various states and the House of Representatives chosen by the population of the state directly from the population of the various states.    Other problems the Constitution fixed included: taxes (don't laugh), currency and government activities.  Taxes, Alexander Hamilton's leadership as a legislator, financier and statesmen. Created the office of the treasury which allowed the US to grow.  Understanding the problems of the colonies before the Constitution there was one currency under this new system.  Government activities... The government (national) for a long time was very small for a number of reasons.  The powers that were outlined in the Constitution were the ONLY rules that were enforced by the government and ALL other powers were the pervue of the states that made up the new union.

How was the American Revolution a direct cause of the Constitutional Convention of 1878
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia met between May and September of 1787 to address the problems of the weak central government that existed under the Articles of Confederation. The United States Constitution that emerged from the convention established a federal government with more specific powers, including those related to conducting relations with foreign governments. Under the reformed federal system, many of the responsibilities for foreign affairs fell under the authority of an executive branch, although important powers, such as treaty ratification, remained the responsibility of the legislative branch. After the necessary number of state ratifications, the Constitution came into effect in 1789 and has served as the basis of the United States Government ever since.
