Correct Answer:

A bicameral legislature makes it possible to have every decision debated and rejected

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3- A bicameral legislature makes it possible to have every decision debated and rejected

The advantages of having a bicameral legislature are:

Option 1- It helps to give representation to all sections of the society
Option 2- It helps to give representation to all geographical regions or parts of the country
Option 4- A bicameral legislature makes it possible to have every decision reconsidered

 

Countries with large size and much diversity usually prefer to have two houses of the national legislature to give representation to all sections in the society and to give representation to all geographical regions or parts of the country. A bicameral legislature has one more advantage. A bicameral legislature makes it possible to have every decision reconsidered. Every decision taken by one house goes to the other house for its decision. This means that every bill and policy would be discussed twice. This ensures a double-check on every matter. Even if one house decides in haste, that decision will come for discussion in the other house and reconsideration will be possible.
