Abstract
We consider one-dimensional lattice gauge theories constructed by the minimal coupling prescription. It is shown that these theories are exactly solvable in the thermodynamic limit. After considering the most general case, we discuss some special cases on finite lattices and also work out some examples. There is no phase transition in these minimally coupled theories.
