"The United States shall guarantee to every state in the union a republican form of government,

Remember the Absolut ad ? What’s good about that graphic is that it shows the area Mexico claims to the rest of the US. If you could work that into your graphic along with with pixs of areas where Mexicans have actually taken over I think it would better visualize the point.
