maximum number in any house, whether it's one of the two

systems?

DELEGATE HANDEL: I'm speaking strictly on a
|
|
4
|
bicameral legislature. Unicameral legislature, I frankly
|
|
5
|
wouldn't speak for. I talked to people who served in it
|
|
6
|
out in Nebraska and I think it has a lot — while it has
|
|
7
|
been less expensive to operate, I think, as far as the
|
|
8
|
effect of it, I don't think it is as effective as a two-
|
|
9
|
body system. I just think that with the unicameral
|
|
10
|
legislature you concentrate too much power in a few
|
|
11
|
people.

MR. ENEY: The other question I wanted you to
|
|
13
|
comment on, in line with what you were saying, I take it
|
|
14
|
you feel there is, as in a State like Maryland, some
|
|
15
|
practical limit on the number you can have in one house,
|
|
16
|
whether it's the only house or whether it's one or two?
|
|
17
|
At some point, one or the other principle has to give.
|
|
18
|
Either you have to take the ceiling off the number or you
|
|
19
|
have to give up the idea that every county is entitled to
|
|
20
|
at least one. Which is the one that you think would have
|
|
21
|
to give way first?
