The two house legislature was proposed by the Great Compromise/Connecicut Compromise.

Virginian plan
The Virginia Plan had more influence on the Great Compromise. It proposed a bicameral legislature with representation based on population, which favored populous states. In response, the New Jersey Plan called for equal representation for all states, regardless of size. Ultimately, the Great Compromise blended these ideas by creating a bicameral Congress, with the House of Representatives based on population and the Senate providing equal representation for each state.
A two house legislature is not called a unilateral legislature, it is called a bicameral legislature.
The representation of states in the United States Senate is based on equal representation. Every state, regardless of size, elects two senators; in contrast, the number of seats a state has in the House of Representatives is based on that state's population. This difference arose out of the conflict between the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan put forth at the Philadelphia Convention. The Virginia Plan proposed that representation in the legislature be based on either a state's population or its monetary contribution to the federal government, whereas the New Jersey Plan proposed an equal distribution of seats in the legislature to all states. The agreed upon compromise between these two plans, called the Connecticut Compromise, established two houses: the House of Representatives, based on proportional representation, and the Senate, based on equal representation.
