The correct answer is B The members of the single house are elected by the people.

A unicameral legislature refers to a government structure in which their is only one house. This explains why letter C. is incorrect.

In America, under the Articles of Confederation, there was a unicameral legislature in which each state had one vote in Congress. Each state had the ability to pick their representative. This power, given to the citizens, allowed for democratic ideals to be implemented into American society.
