Summary/Abstract: In recent years, both in political and constitutional law practice, you can see a fierce debate on the following dilemma: the existence of a unicameral or bicameral parliament. Supporters of unicameralism have pleaded for it invoking the speed, fluidity, and fluidity of legislative activity, and the facilitation of parliament-executive relationship, along with lower maintenance and expens costsrequred to operate such a legal system. On the other hand, disadvantages are mainly about potential risks for democracy and the quality of legislation: a lower and less accurate representation of the electorate’s will, a weaker reflection of a broader spectrum of interests and aspirations, the risk of subordination of the Parliament to the party that holds majority or to the Governement, plus the reduction of qulity and consistency of the legislation in favor of speed.
