See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicameral In any case, I believe that the chief advantage of a complex governing body is when there is so little trust of the governors that it is better for there to be not enough power with which to act rather than too much. I believe that the reason we such such stunning progress on things like the Linux kernel is that, among other things, the governing process is transparent and damn simple. I'd prefer to see a system that minimizes the amount of bureaucracy, given that we know there are plenty of people willing to actually do stuff.
