Unicameralism
Unicameralism (from ''uni''- "one" + Latin ''camera'' "chamber") is a type of legislature consisting of one house or assembly that legislates and votes as one. Unicameralism has become an increasingly common type of legislature, making up nearly 60% of all national legislatures and an even greater share of subnational legislatures. Sometimes, as in New Zealand and Denmark, unicameralism comes about through the abolition of one of two bicameral chambers, or, as in Sweden, through the merger of the two chambers into a single one, while in others a second chamber has never existed from the beginning. Rationale for unicameralism and criticism The principal advantage of a unicameral system is more efficient lawmaking, as the legislative process is simpler and there is no possibility of gridlock (politics), deadlock between two chambers. Proponents of unicameralism have also argued that it reduces costs, even if the number of legislators stays the same, since there are fewer instituti ...

Supreme People's Assembly
The Supreme People's Assembly (SPA; ) is the legislature of North Korea. It is ostensibly the highest organ of state power and the only branch of government in North Korea, with all state organs subservient to it under the principle of unified power.

It consists of one deputy from each of North Korea's 687 constituencies, Elections in North Korea, elected to five-year terms. The Constitution of North Korea, constitution identifies the SPA as the "highest organ of state power" and all state positions, including the President of the State Affairs of North Korea, President of the State Affairs and in theory the Premier of North Korea, Premier of the Cabinet, trace their authority to it. The Assembly typically does not legislate directly but delegates that task to a smaller #Standi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
