CMV: There is no reason to have two chambers of a state General Assembly

In U.S. government, all states but one (Nebraska) have a General Assembly almost identical to the national Congress. That is, with a Senate (upper/less members) and a House of Representatives (lower/more members). At first, it seems logical to mimic the federal structure because it's safe.

In states, the Senate and House both use districts of their state. As opposed to the United States Senate, state Senates are based off population just like the House. The only reason the national government has two houses is to compromise between those who wanted the states equally represented in Congress and those who wanted representation based on population.

These results in a Senate and House who are basically copies of each other, doing about the same thing. Sure, they usually have different term lengths, but they lack the prestige and consistency of the U.S. Senate bc they are not representing permanent borders. It is redundant.

I think instead of paying salaries for 50-200? state politicians, states should just consolidate both houses into a unicameral Assembly, like Nebraska.

I like the fact that there is a second layer of protection between a bill and a law. 

If the governor and the one body are on the same page too much can happen. Having a 2nd body where things can be compromised with or shutdown is an advantage.
