That is quite simple, eliminate the independence of the states. You do that
by enlisting the aid of the 2nd ASB division.
The Federal government was to be a place where the narrow powers of that
uber-government were exercised. The two houses were simply a compromise on the
population differences of the states but were always to only representatives
of the states without that infernal party system that infested the British
parliament.
You will find in the beginning the states did have a single legislative
house. A separate governor simply replaced the familiar royal governor system
which was what they were familiar with. So if you want to eliminate that then
eliminate the royal governors. How you do that is up to you. Perhaps eliminate
the system of royal patronage in ancient Sumer so it never gets started.
As to copying the royal governor "he has refused toent to our laws" via
his viceroy which is the function the president/governor was supposed to
exercise rather the leader of a political party.
So rather than a system which imitated the fatherland it imitated the local
system of government imposed upon it by the fatherland.
The US did what you suggest but in a much more direct imitation than a
parliamentary system would have been.
