The answer is "representative": The United States government must guarantee each state a representative form of government.

Explanation for each option:

  • State: This option is incorrect. While each state has its own government, the U.S. Constitution does not guarantee a "state" form of government. Instead, it ensures that each state maintains a certain type of governance.

  • Federal: This option is incorrect. The term "federal" refers to the national government system of the United States, which is a union of states under a central government. The Constitution guarantees a representative form of government, not specifically a federal one, to each state.

  • Representative: This option is correct. Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution states, "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government." A republican form of government is understood to be a representative democracy, where officials are elected to represent the people.

  • Democratic: This option is incorrect. While the United States is a democracy, the specific guarantee in the Constitution is for a "republican" form of government, which is a type of representative democracy. The term "democratic" is broader and not the specific term used in the Constitution.
