False, the Guarantee Clause is that all states should be grounded in Republican principles.

Answer: False.

The Guarantee Clause 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."

The clause maintains that states need to be governed in a "Republican" way (not by a monarch or a dictator).
