A quick definition of bicameral:

Term: BICAMERAL

Definition: Bicameral means having two parts or houses. In terms of government, it refers to a legislature that has two groups of people who make laws. Most countries, including the United States, have a bicameral legislature with a House of Representatives and a Senate. The bicameral clause is a part of the US Constitution that creates these two legislative chambers.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Bicameral is an adjective used to describe a legislature that has two separate houses or chambers. These chambers are usually called the House of Representatives or the Assembly, and the Senate. The federal government and all states except Nebraska have bicameral legislatures.

Example: The United States Congress is a bicameral legislature, consisting of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Each state also has its own bicameral legislature, except for Nebraska which has a unicameral legislature.

Explanation: The example illustrates the definition of bicameral by showing that the United States Congress has two separate chambers, the House of Representatives and the Senate, which work together to create laws. Similarly, each state has its own bicameral legislature, which consists of two separate chambers that work together to create state laws. This system is designed to provide checks and balances, ensuring that no one group has too much power.

Related Term: Bicameralism is the noun form of bicameral, referring to the practice of having two separate chambers in a legislature.

Additional Example: The Parliament of the United Kingdom is another example of a bicameral legislature, consisting of the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The House of Commons represents the people, while the House of Lords represents the aristocracy and the clergy.

Explanation: This example shows that bicameralism is not unique to the United States, but is also used in other countries such as the United Kingdom. The two chambers in the UK Parliament have different roles and represent different groups, but work together to create laws and provide oversight of the government.

Go to the school, Hofstra for example. Set the cycle to last year and sort the chart by date submitted. You can see when people who applied in December heard back last cycle
helloo everyone, does someone want to read one paragraph i wrote for GW law for the diversoty statement and tell me if it is good/bad?
In school, I was met with questions like, “Why are Muslim women oppressed?” or “Do you need bodyguards when you travel to Jordan?”
shoudl i keep those questions in there or is too much?

I would cut the questions and go in media res.

But, I guess it also depends on what the next few paragraphs are like. I personally am not a fan of rhetorical questions, as they're generally not well done, but they could work.
