0 (of a parliament) having only one group of members:
a unicameral legislature
For this purpose, likely outcomes under unicameral and multicameral arrangements are calculated.
For all lower chambers (as well as unicameral systems), the use of single-member districts correlates strongly with higher levels of malapportionment.
If conflicts are minor or less clearly visible, a unicameral majority rule will evolve.
After all, they had probably suffered more than most at the hands of the existing unicameral legislature.
But here there was an added complication in the shape of the state's own constitution, adopted in 1776, with its unique unicameral legislature.
A unicameral sophisticated voter would vote for his less-preferred alternative in order to avoid an even worse alternative from being adopted.
The fact that the states had no representation as such in a unicameral legislature was probably one of the reasons to deny further powers of intervention to the central government.
Unicameral unweighted voting, by contrast, will produce outcomes that hardly reflect the interests of the actors of the first three chambers.
