Yes, our constitution guarantees that each state will be a republic, not a monarchy.

> Also, explain Napoleon who was Monarch over the Republic of France

The French state while Napoleon was emperor is known as the "First French Empire", which replaced the "First French Republic".

So your example actually supports my point.
