Explain how a bicameral system provides challenges when making policy

Question

Ap comparative government

Answer 1

Hi, Shyla,

Look up our system.  Our system is bicameral.  The two Houses are the House of Representatives and the Senate.  Remember that a bill can't become a law unless it is votes for by both houses and the President signs it into law.  What about the number of votes needed to get a bill passed?  How can one House stop a bill before it even gets to the Senate? What laws can one make that the others don't make?

Also, what about the British system?  History is not my specialty, but I hope that my comments will help you in your research.
