The word congress itself requires two entities “in Congress.”


Lets not forget there are legislatures with only one chamber, and it is called a unicameral. By definition:

Unicameral. Use the adjective unicameral to describe a government with only one legislative house or chamber. The Parliament of Finland, for example, is a unicameral. ... The word unicameral has two Latin roots, uni, which means “one,” and camera, “chamber.”

The state of Nebraska is also has a unicameral legislature. The best elements of having only one chamber is that it reduces costs and eliminates backroom deals done when the two branches go hide in committee and get into bargaining. All the deals are done publicly and in a straightforward manner.

So, I’m not so sure a congress requires two entities.
