两院制立法机构最近在比较文学中引起了相当大的关注。然而，这种兴趣的增加是不均衡的，不足以弥合这一研究领域存在的许多差距。拉丁美洲，一个有着悠久的两美制传统的大陆，几乎被忽视了。这项研究开发了一个评分系统，用来衡量美洲两院制的实力。审查了12个案例：目前的九个两院制立法机构，1990年代形成的两个一院制案例，最后是美国，它提供了一种比较模式，是拉丁美洲宪法所依据的模式。
Bicameral legislatures have recently attracted considerable attention in comparative literature. However, this increased interest has been uneven and insufficient to close the many gaps existing in this area of research. Latin America, a continent with a long tradition of bicameralism, has been all but ignored. This study develops a system of scores with which to measure the strength of the bicameral systems of the Americas. Twelve cases are examined: the nine current bicameral legislatures, two unicameral cases that became in the 1990s and, finally, the United States, which provides a pattern of comparison and is the model on which Latin American constitutions have been based.
