	Unicameralism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unicameralism is the practice of having only one legislative or parliamentary chamber.
		Many countries with unicameral legislatures are often small and homogeneous unitary states and consider an upper house or second chamber unnecessary.
		Some of the subnational entities with unicameral legislatures include Nebraska and the Virgin Islands in the United States, the Australian state of Queensland, all of the provinces and territories in Canada, all of the German Bundesländer (Bavaria having abolished its Senate in 1999), and all of the Italian Regioni.
