Best Answer

A true bi level home has 2 ground floors, vertically separated. That is, when one walks in the main entrance, he or she is standing in the lowest level, then must climb a full flight of stairs to reach the top level From the top level, one can then walk straight out to the back yard without having to descend steps (or perhaps a very few steps--too many steps makes the house a colonial) Another name for this style of home is a raised rancher. True bi levels are fairly rare but there is one at this address: 6847 Nashville Rd., Lanham, MD 20706. The distinction between a bi level and a split level house is that the split level has 2, 3, 4 or more levels separated by half flights of steps. Bi levels are often confused with split foyers which have a landing or foyer at the main entrance, from which one must climb half a flight of steps to reach the upper level or descend half a flight to reach the lower level.

What are the two houses of the judicial branch?

The Judicial branch of the Federal government is the supreme court and at the state level is the court of appeals and then lowest are the district courts. When you use the term "houses" it sounds to me like you are confusing the Judicial and the Legislative Branch. The Legislative Branch is the congress which is split into two houses, the House of Representatives and the Senate.
