What is wrong with a unicameral legislative body?

There is absolutely no issue with having a unicameral legislature. Many countries do just fine with a unicameral legislature (Sweden, South Korea, Portugal) or have a bicameral legislature where the upper chamber does practically nothing making a de facto unicameral legislature (Spain and United Kingdom).The argument for having a bicameral legislature in a place like the United States is to balance state and national interests, by giving states equal representation in one body and nationally-allocated representation based on population in other body. It also provides for the legislature to self-check. In many countries, the executive is more powerful, serving the purpose of the self-check, or there are no internal divisions that have unique legislative rights, so balancing national and state divisions is unimportant.

Is our legislature bicameral?

If you mean Congress, yes. "camera" is actually the latin word for a chamber or private place. "Bicameral" derives from this word and because the prefix "bi-" means two, the word means "two houses" (Senate and House of Representatives) with overlapping and separate powers. Most state legislatures are also bicameral. If there is only one "house" it's called "unicameral" as the prefix "uni-" from latin means one. Nebraska is an example of a state with a unicameral legislature.

Have most states established bicameral congress?

All US states ... except Nebraska ... have a bicameral legislature; Nebraska decided in the 1930s that this was a waste of time and money, and amended their state constitution to a unicameral legislature (officially "the Nebraska Legislature", though its members are called "Senators") instead.Nebraksa's legislature is also unique among US states in being officially "nonpartisan" (each Senator is chosen in a general election with no preceding party primaries, though in practice each Senator does have a party affiliation, everyone knows what that party affiliation is, and in most cases even without a primary each of the political parties will endorse a particular candidate).
