The video tutorial explains the differences between unicameral and bicameral legislative systems. A unicameral system has one legislative body, while a bicameral system has two, such as in the United States with the House of Representatives and the Senate. Unicameral systems are more common in stable economies with smaller populations, offering efficiency and cost-effectiveness but less bandwidth and potential for power abuse. Bicameral systems provide better representation for larger populations and serve as checks and balances. The choice between these systems depends on factors like ease of legislation and population size.
