US History Trivia: Which state has a non-partisan, unicameral legislature?

With a new Congress officially taking office today, I thought it was only appropriate to have a legislative-oriented question.  Of course, all fifty U.S. States have legislative branches.  They all vary significantly in size, professionalism, rules and make-up, but at least 49 of them have one thing in common: each has an upper and a lower house.  One state, however, has a unicameral and non-partisan legislature.  So, from our Pocket Trivia: US History game: Which state has a non-partisan, unicameral legislature?  Is it Oklahoma, Washington, Nebraska or Kansas?  Answer after the jump:

US History Trivia: What Supreme Court Chief Justice ran for President?

Well, I think we've all had our fun with the 80s for now, so we'll head back into our rotational system of discussing a different question from a different game.  Let's turn out attention back to Pocket Trivia: US History for this one.  The Supreme Court is generally considered to be above petty partisan conflicts - after all, they don't even run for office, they are appointed.  But, in one case, a Supreme Court Chief Justice ran for President - and almost won.  What Justice was it?  Was it William Douglass, Earl Warren, William Brennan or Charles Evans Hughes?

Obviously, we love politics and history here at Pocket Trivia.  We have two other games - Pocket Trivia: US History and Pocket Trivia: US Presidents.  This question, off of Pocket Trivia: 80s Trivia, is a mix of the 80s and the politics.  It is also one of my favorite all-time moments of any political debate - mainly because Dan Quayle looks like he is about to cry.  Here's the question:  Who famously told Dan Quayle, "Senator, you are no Jack Kennedy?"  Was it Michael Dukakis, Lloyd Bentsen, George W. Bush or Dan Quayle?

80s Trivia: Which of these nations gained formal independence in the 1980s?

Ahh, the 80s, filled with fun times in banana republics and bigger countries invading much smaller ones.  Yes, you couldn't throw a cat in the 80s without hitting some smaller nation that was in the midst of political issues.  However, there were some political transformations that occurred without any violence or bloodshed.  This is a random one, off our our Pocket Trivia: 80s Trivia:  80s Trivia:  Which of these nations gained formal independence in the 1980s? Was it Mexico, Canada, the USSR or Serbia?

80s Trivia: How many studio albums did The Police release?

The Police were, arguably, one of the greatest bands of the late 70s and early 80s.  Originally a punk band, the group quickly expanded into other sounds, including New Wave and Rock.  The group broke up due to creative and personality differences in the mid-80s at the height of their popularity and left behind a massive void in the music scene (one that was filled quickly, of course).  So, here is today's question, courtesy of Pocket Trivia: 80s Trivia: How many studio albums did The Police release?  3, 5, 7 or 9?

Okay, this one is a little unfair, I'll be the first to admit it - you kind of have to be a Police fan to get it.  Anyways, the correct answer is five.  The Police released five studio albums before their break-up around 1984.  They are:

Outlandos d'Amour

Reggatta de Blanc

Zenyatta Mondatta

Ghost in the Machine
