The basic principle of our form of government is that all power held by government is delegated to that government by the people subject to its governance.
My point was that they could set one up, not that they wouldn't still need to have the people of that state to consent to such a government. I agree with you 100%.

I'm speaking in theory here, not in literal terms, in theory there could exist a majority (or a 2/3 majority to amend or change the state constitution) in a state who chose this form of governement for the state.

Yes, I'm with you that far. There's a condition there, though. Only a republican form of government is valid for a state belonging to the United States. To me, that means that Massachussetts, California and Illinois should be kicked out of the union right away.;-)
