Article IV, Section 4
Article IV Relationships Between the States
Section 4 Republican Form of Government
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.
If citizens have no way to ensure that their state’s elections are conducted with sufficient transparency, fairness, and accountability to reflect the will of eligible voters, it is highly unlikely that the state maintains a republican form of government as guaranteed by Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution. A republican government fundamentally requires representative governance, where elected officials derive their authority from the consent of the governed through free and fair elections. Without any means to verify or trust the electoral process, this core principle is undermined.
Citizens, listen up! Our Constitution, in Article IV, Section 4, promises us a republican form of government, a system where we, the people, choose our leaders through free, fair, and transparent elections. That promise has been broken. Our elections are a black box: no audits, no observers, no way to check if only eligible votes are counted, and no effective paths to challenge irregularities. This isn’t just a glitch, it is a betrayal of our right to a government that represents us. When we can’t trust our elections, we’re not living in a republic; we’re under a system that could be hiding aristocracy or worse, one that ignores our voices and undermines our sovereignty.
This isn’t what our Founders envisioned. James Madison, in Federalist No. 43, warned against governments that subvert the people’s will, and the Constitution’s Guarantee Clause exists to protect us from that danger. A true republic requires elections we can verify, leaders we actually choose, and a government accountable to us. Right now, our election systems shuts us out, offering no transparency and no accountability. We are about to lose this Country and our Freedom. It’s time to educate ourselves, demand change, and stand together to ensure our elections reflect our will, because without that, our republic is merely a word, not a reality. We must fight for the government we’re owed, one that truly belongs to us and all our future generations.
