Abstract
IN SETTING UP new governments, or in rearranging old ones, it is often thought to be politically necessary to have a bicameral legislature in order that all legislation receive majority approval of two kinds of representation. It shall be shown herein that this argument for having two legislative houses is no longer valid, since modern mechanical devices make it easy to tabulate two or more classes of weighted votes taken at one time within one group of representatives. The proposal made herein may have special relevance to international organizations and governments. But any existing government seeking a kind of compromise between having one or having two houses may find it of interest. To be sure, there are arguments for bicameral legislatures other than that of having two kinds of representation. This article will not enter into that broader question.
