THIS COUNTRY IS OURS AND THE ENTIRE GOVERNMENT WORKS FOR US! "WE" OWN IT ALL!
"We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."
President Abraham Lincoln, Peoria, Illinois, on October 16, 1854, during his debates and advocacy against the Kansas-Nebraska Act.
The Guarantee Clause is found in Article IV, Section 4 of the United States Constitution. It states:
“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.”
This clause commits the federal government to ensure that each state maintains a republican form of government, essentially one based on elected representation and without a monarchy or other non-representative ruling structures.
