Multicameralism

Multicameralism remained commonplace within Europe until approximately 1800, after which most European governments gradually became bicameral, partly as a consequence of reforms associated with the French Revolution, but also as a consequence of new constitutional theories and subsequent pressures for constitutional reform.

For example, multicameralism indirectly tends to generate policy choices that are preferred by a supermajority.

The division of power and levels of governmental authority responsible for regulating various branches of economic activity, multicameralism, electoral systems, party organizations, and rules relating to the consideration and voting on policy proposals all shape the character of market intervention and affect the efficiency of economic organization.
