History & Civics
A bicameral legislature has a wider membership than a unicameral legislature. How?
Answer
A bicameral legislature has wider membership because, unlike a unicameral system where all members are directly elected, it includes a second house, the Legislative Council, whose members are partly elected from diverse groups like teachers, graduates, and local bodies, and partly nominated by the Governor, ensuring broader representation.
