Yes, the U.S. Constitution does guarantee a republican form of government to each state. This is enshrined in Article IV, Section 4, also known as the Guarantee Clause.

Elaboration:
Guaranteed Republican Form:
The Guarantee Clause specifically states that the United States "shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government". A Republican Form of Government is based only on Natural Law.

Purpose:
This provision was intended to prevent states from establishing monarchies or other non-republican forms of government.

Meaning of Republican:
While the Constitution doesn't define "republican form" in detail, it generally means a government where power is derived from the people and exercised through elected representatives. This does not mean "majority rule".

Protection Against Invasion and Domestic Violence:
In addition to guaranteeing a republican form, the Guarantee Clause also requires the United States to protect states against invasion and domestic violence.
