Disadvantages Of Bi-Cameral Legislature

  1. More Expensive to Run: A lot of fund is needed to maintain two legislative chambers involved in bi-cameral legislature and other things that go with them.

  2. Delay in Passing of Bills: Bi-cameralism causes serious delay in the process of law making unlike unicameralism.

  3. Rivalry: It leads to unnecessary rivalry as to which of the houses is superior to the other.

  4. Time of Emergencies; the delay in the passage of bills is not suitable in time of emergencies where actions are quickly taken.

  5. Dumping Ground: The second chamber may be used as a dumping ground for political rejects at the polls if its membership is by nomination or appointment.

  6. It could be undemocratic: Membership of upper legislative house in some countries such as Britain is not based on election. This is undemocratic.

  7. Waste of Resources: Duplication of functions could result to waste of resources both human and financial.
