A forceful, extra-constitutional action resulting in the removal of an existing government.

• A. Coup D'etat
• B. Anticlericalism
• C. Sexenio
• D. Clientelism

Answer: (A)

Coup d'etat is a forceful, extra-constitutional action that results in the removal of an existing government. It involves seizing power outside the legal framework, typically by the military or security forces, and replacing leaders without a lawful transition or elections. The point is not to change policies through the normal political process, but to overthrow the current regime outright. Anticlericalism is opposition to the political power of the church, not the seizure of government. Sexenio refers to the six-year presidential term in Mexico, a constitutional concept, not a forceful removal. Clientelism describes trading favors or resources for political support, a political behavior, not the act of overthrowing a government.
