"Tricameralism is the practice of having three legislative or parliamentary chambers. It IS CONTRASTED TO unicameralism and bicameralism, both of which are far more common."
Shouldn't "is contrasted to" be "contrasts to"? This dictionary suggest that sense 1 is the more appropriate choice:

"This month, there were 25 accidents. This contrasts with 12 accidents last month."
"This month, there were 25 accidents. This is contrasted with 12 accidents last month."
Only the first one is grammatical English?
"This month, there were 25 accidents. This contrasts with 12 accidents last month."
