Does the American Constitution specify what state governments must be like?
For example specify what the division of powers between governor and legislature is, and whether there has to be a two-house legislature. Could a state establish a Brit/Canadian parliamentary style government if it got the notion?

Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution: "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government."

The US Constitution does not specify what a state government must be like. That was a big point of the Constitution to begin with, to give states as much autonomy as possible with minimal federal interference. We have moved a long way away from that.
