What is the term for the process of formally accusing a high-level government official of wrongdoing in the United States?

Impeachment.
Ratification.
Filibustering.
Gerrymandering.

The correct answer is: Impeachment.

This process is called impeachment in the United States. Ratification refers to the formal approval of a document or agreement, typically by vote. Filibustering is a tactic used by legislators to delay or block action on a bill. Gerrymandering is the manipulation of electoral district boundaries to benefit a particular political party. Therefore, option A, impeachment, is the only term that accurately describes the process of formally accusing a high-level government official of wrongdoing in the United States.
