the northern and southern states were unified in opposition of slavery and worked to end it.

Explanation:

For the first question: The core difference between unicameral and bicameral legislatures lies in the number of legislative chambers. Unicameral systems have one, bicameral have two, which matches the correct option.
For the second question: The Southern economy relied heavily on enslaved labor for agriculture, so they supported slavery. While many Northerners opposed slavery morally, Northern industries benefited from raw materials produced by enslaved labor in the South, making this the accurate characterization.

1. In a unicameral legislature, there is only one chamber; in a bicameral legislature, there are two chambers.
2. Southern states supported the institution of slavery as it was in their financial interest and, while slavery made many in the northern states uneasy, they too benefitted from the institution.
