<>Hamilton and few others wanted to establish a monarchy over here and make Washington a king.<>

You lost all credibility with that whopper.

Cherish your kirk if you wish. My historians of the revolutionary era are Wood, McDonald, Bailyn, Stourzh, Jensen, Adair, Storing, and primary source documents .

“<>Hamilton and few others wanted to establish a monarchy over here and make Washington a king.<> You lost all credibility with that whopper.”

Evidently you didn’t take notes when you were reading Wood, McDonald, Bailyn et al.

On June 18, 1787 Hamilton offered the Constitutional Convention what was dubbed “the British Plan” due to its all too strong resemblance to the British form of government. Hamilton’s plan had a ‘Governor’ rather than a President, and that Governor held office for life.

Now maybe to you a Governor-for-Life doesn’t constitute a monarch as long as he wasn’t called a king. If so I’d call that a whopper.
