A legislature having two houses (as in the US Congress and the British Parliament) is said to be "bicameral" (from the Latin for "two chambers"). A legislature having a single house is said to be "unicameral".

Bicameral. For example the US Congress is a bicameral body with both the House of Representatives and the Senate. If a legislative body only had one house it would be called unicameral.
