To be fair, Augustus **hates** being called a king, and never acts like one, and yet still commisioned a lot of sculptures, depicting him as a general or a political leader. Kings during those times don't want to be depicted like that, barechested wearing a toga, that's the symbol of Republicanism since the Roman times. George Washington, as a humble man, probably won't be too happy having a full-body marble of him commisioned. But he wouldn't be mad either. On the other hand, King George III would probably execute the sculptor if he made a statue of George III wearing a toga. Before you ask, Augustus was never proclaimed king. None of the emperors did until the reign of Diocletian. It took them 300 years to realize that Rome isn't a Republic. If it's a statue wearing an armor, then the person is depicted as a Military Leader/General. If it wears a toga, then the person is depicted as a political leader, and is deeply rooted from Roman republicanism. If they wore an extravagant robe, then a King.

Actually, alexander hamilton had suggested a form of monarchy at the beginning of the constitutional convention. There was complete silence at the suggestion and alexander literally left because of embarrassment. He returned later tho.

@@MasonPerryGames It's not at all rare for monarchs to be elected. Many people don't realize this, but there were actually examples, even from the time that the Constitutional Convention was being authored. Poland Lithuania had such an elected king, and in 1573, had an electoral college consisting of 40 thousand people, and 500 thousand people had the right to vote if they wanted to travel to the place where the vote was being held, which is very nearly the same number of people who voted in the 1789 election that elected George Washington as President. The Dutch had a Statholder, which was like a president for life. The Holy Roman Empire long since had an elective monarchy. In fact, King George the Third, the very man the Americans declared independence from, was actually one of the people who had the right to elect the Holy Roman Emperor by being the elector of Hanover. The Pope is actually an elective monarch, him being the King of the City of the Vatican. Roman kings (as they were up until 507 BC) were elected, genuinely. The English later British themselves had a Parliament who took huge amounts of power from the king, to the point where if they wanted to make the British crown elective, that probably would have been an easy thing to do, and in practice Parliament did choose the crown in important ways, like choosing the Hanoverans rather than the Stuart line, and set out specific rules of inheritance.

That first statue of Washington was meant to be a recreation of a famous statue of Cincinnatus, the legendary Roman general who was begged to come out of retirement and serve as dictator (in the ancient sense of the word). When the crisis had passed, rather than using the army to make himself King, he handed power back to the Senate and went home to his farm. Just like Washington did. When George III learned that Washington had resigned from the army and surrendered all power, he supposedly remarked, "Truly, he is the greatest man in he world."

Alexander Hamilton said we should have a king, but he meant it in the form of a democratic-elected monarch, kind of live modern Andorra, but elected internally, not by the people of France.

Actually there was a serious movement to make George Washington king and it almost happened if not for one man. George Washington himself declined the offer and resigned his commission. This was right at the end of the war in 1783 and BEFORE the articles of confederation. George Washington had a standing army of 25,000 men at the end of the Revolution and most of the militias were loyal to general General Washington. This is when George Washington could have been king. It was his for the taking but he resigned his commission as Commander in Chief of the continental army.

I know it’s late, but let’s just say Washington accepted Kingship, George Washington was the kind of man who cared about the state of his country more than his bloodline, so I believe it would lead to him choosing his successors from one of the founders and that would probably be the trend.

fun fact: both George III Hannover and George Washington were both related and both were descendants of King Edward I of England.

I could swear there was in fact early talk of making George Washington King of the US, but he didn't want the job. And that there were Americans who were looking among European royalty as an option if they went for a constitutional monarchy. Also, Alexander Hamilton did argue for the idea of an Elective Monarchy, but the proposal was soundly rejected.

I think that this video asks the wrong question. The US becoming a monarchy was extremely unlikely. But, monarchy isn't the only type of autocracy. George Washington basically had to figure out what the Presidency should be. Many people (looking at you Alexander Hamilton) wanted the President to serve for life, and Washington could have very easily remained President for the rest of his life. It was his choice to step down after two terms (and his created the precedent for the two term limit, which was only broken by FDR, and became a law after FDR). If George Washington became President for life, and retained control of the army, this could have set a precedent for an autocratic government similar to post-revolutionary France, Haiti or modern day Russia. Remember, Washington ran for President unopposed in both elections, what if this became the norm? What if Presidents nominated their successors instead of leaving it for the people to decide? Just think of how many revolutions lead to dictatorships. I think, for all his faults, George Washington's greatest trait was his respect for Republican virtues and his conscious effort to limit his own powers and that of his successors.

I've been trying to work on an alternate history scenario for an American monarchy for a little while now. I'm imagining the structure as being a mix of constitutional monarchy, American federal republicanism, and feudalism, which I'm calling Jeffersonian Monarchy. Basically, the nation has both a king (hereditary) and president (elected) as co-executives, with the executive having basically the powers of the president in our timeline, but with varying degrees of power deepening on whether or not the king and President are in agreement (easiest example is veto power. Either can veto, but if only one does, it's easier for Congress to override than irl, while if both veto its instead harder for Congress to override than irl). Congress and the supreme court are basically the same, though I've been entertaining the idea that each state has a representative who's role is specifically to represent the Prince, or the state's nobility in general. Similar to the central government, each state (in this timeline, principality) has both a governor (elected) and a prince as co-executives. In fact, a system of constitutional aristocracy is embedded into local government on virtually every level, though how succession works for princes and lower ranking nobility is a locally determined matter. The nobility (in general) has some say in local government, receives money from the land they're attached to, and are in charge of preparing, training, managing, etc. military forces, based on the Jeffersonian concept that large, standing, centralized militaries are bad. The nobility mostly exists as a counterbalance to the types of urban elites (bankers, wealthy merchants, etc) that irl Jefferson believed would form a pseudo-aristocracy empowered by their money.

Wait...didn't Assassin's Creed do this whole "What if?"

I think if America was a kingdom they will be like an Holly Roman Empire but in America,with an elected monarchy and the states would have alot of autonomy.

I guess this is assuming that the states still worked together, but retained their own laws and leadership.

As it stands, Washington was only able to cross with less than half his force and there were several decisions by both the British and the Hessians where going the other way could have doomed the attack. For instance, had Rall decided to fortify Trenton then some the early American success in their assault would have been impossible. A British force in Maidenhead would have been able to reinforce the Hessians and trap the American left. Even a tight-run American victory would have been strategically devastating, Colonial morale was already starting to collapse. For Washington himself, it wouldn't be that big a butterfly for his boat to have suffered a mishap, resulting in him landing in the frigid water.

I honestly couldn’t picture a more likely scenario and boy is it depressing. You’re theories are incredible!

Pink Power! That was the plan but bad weather changed the strategy.

On the first day, God created the dog and said: 'Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.' The dog said: 'That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?' So God agreed. On the second day, God created the monkey and said: 'Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span.' The monkey said: 'Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?' And God agreed. On the third day, God created the cow and said: 'You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years...' The cow said: 'That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?' And God agreed again. On the fourth day, God created man and said: 'Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years.' But man said: 'Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?' 'Okay,' said God, 'You asked for it.' So that is why for our first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves.. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone. Life has now been explained to you.

While exiled on Saint Helena and on his deathbed, Napoleon Bonaparte stated “They [the French people] wanted me to be another Washington”, and how his later American counterpart would be a fool to act as himself if he was under the same circumstances that plagued the French Republic. George Washington is the polar opposite to Napoleon in every possible way, and his refusal to accept any more power than he was already given cannot be understated. The reason why he was so entrusted by his colleagues and people is the fact that he could be trusted with power because he was so willing to surrender it to the source it came at the most appropriate hour. And to state that this scenario would be a character change for the man is an understatement

What about prince Henry of Prussia he was offered the throne to the United States in 1786. Yes I know he declined the position but it shows how monarchism In the US was still prevelant in the 18th century and how the US had other potential options for king besides George Washington.

As someone who lives in the DC area (only about a 10 minute drive to DC.) I can say I’ve never seen this painting. I kinda wanna see it now.

You use fantastic background music by the way. Very fitting to the mood without being intrusive.

Why do you think the US's relations with the post-Revolution French Republic would go sour if Washington had appointed himself king? Napoleon did become Emperor anyway. Or, alternatively, if the French Republic had a falling out with "King George Washington", there would be resistance to having Napoleon crowned Emperor. Not only that, given the way the US system was based on Rome, why not a different title (Praetor, Consul)

I believe that maybe America would be a Empire, and not a kingdom...

I saw all that in DC. Great sights

Tronald Drump No, the idea was to have a system without parties if I remember correctly.

I want to live in that timeline for a year and see how it turns out...

"I fought for liberté I fought for révolution, but now it seems I have only aided in the création of more tyranny. I have not regretted anything more than naming my son after this kingdoms FIST." Quoted from Marquis de Lafayette two weeks before he is found and executed via guillotine by orders of King Washington.

Don't think that this wasn't possible. Washington was heavily revered. Actually more than one forefather wanted him to be king. Hamilton for one pushed to have lifetime appointments for presidents and absolute veto power. Here is a quote. "The English model is the only good one on this subject. The hereditary interest of the king is so interwoven with that of the kingdom, and his personal emolument so great, that he is placed above the danger of being corrupted from abroad and at the same time is both sufficiently independent and sufficiently controlled to answer the purpose of the institution at home." This was him arguing that an american king would not be as corruptible as the one in England. I couldn't disagree with your assertions in the introduction any more than currently.

I think it's far more likely that America would become a monarchy down a Hamiltonian path. Hamilton was the driving passionate force within the federalist party calling for America to become a monarchy. He was also very very close to Washington, that if washington could choose a successor (in a will or something) he'd choose Hamilton. Alternatively, Hamilton creates a monarchy after Washington's death. Hamilton was a very smart man (as a brash understatement) and was responsible for the Federalist Papers, along with almost all the articles of the early treasury and economy. Washington ended up on the ptolmac because Hamilton sought NYC to be the economic capital. In our reality, his reputation was annihilated by a series of PR disasters, which both ended up killing him a young man, and destroying the reputation of his majority held party. If Washington had simply desired to stay in office a third term, That could be all the precedent that Hamilton needed to alter history. This would have led him to not blast Adams in national press when he becomes the second president. If he had 1) not had sour relations with John Adams, 2) had not released the reynolds pamphlet and 3) had therefore run as president in 1800, it is likely that he would have won. In the presidency, he might have been able to sway his intended course through the sheer power of his writings. He would have been a tireless, effective and populist president and (just like how Jefferson modified constitutional standings in modifying the presidential running mate), Hamilton might have changed the constitution to reflect a monarchy in his own presidential terms. This alternative timeline also leads his son Phillip Hamilton to not die age 19 in a duel defending his father's legacy, where he was a capable leader too (rumours recon that Hamilton was planning for phillip to become president). Therefore you'd end up with the state-held idol that is washington, followed by the insanely smart, hardworking and charismatic (if a little hot headed) Hamilton, followed then (if in a monarchy) by his son Phillip. That's actually quite a stable first century of governance!

Except Hamilton resigned as Treasury Secretary before Washington's second term was up. And Adams and Hamilton hated each other long before then, so Hamilton would have still backed a different Federalist from Adams like he did in the election of 1800, which split the party and ultimately lead to the Jefferson-Burr run-off. Nothing would have significantly changed. Jefferson just would have become President earlier.

Well, Alexander Hamilton did pitch serving for life at the Constitutional Convention, that's as close as we got to a king though.
