Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura has said a lot of pretty crazy things lately, and since the news media has dealt with those comments, I'll avoid them. He is campaigning for a constitutional amendment to establish a unicameral legislature. He believes that is the best way to eliminate government gridlock.
Most states have bicameral legislatures, but one state already has a unicameral legislature.
And that's the issue. People like Jesse Ventura and Ross Perot want to streamline government. It is a jarring concept when applied to the founders' 18th-century concept of limited government. When I speak on political theory, I point out that the framers of the Constitution designed government to be inefficient with lots of checks and balances. What Jesse Ventura wants to eliminate is what they intentionally built into the system.
