The most serious attempt to make the United States into a constitutional monarchy came in 1786 when Nathaniel Gorham (powerful President of the Continental Congress of the United States), and Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben (the Prussian general who served as Major General in the United States Continental Army and Chief of Staff to George Washington) suggested to Alexander Hamilton that Prince Heinrich von Preussen should become the constitutional monarch of the United States. It’s important to note that a constitutional monarchy differs from absolute monarchy (in which a monarch holds absolute power), in that constitutional monarchs are bound to exercise their powers and authorities within the limits prescribed within an established legal framework of a written constitution. Constitutional Monarchies often include a legislative body that hold true power over laws like the Parliament in the UK. They chose Prince Heinrich not only because of his skills as a diplomat and General, but because Germany was among the first to have recognized the United States as a nation following their revolt from Great Britain. Alexander Hamilton, first United States Secretary of the Treasury and one of the most powerful founders of America, agreed with their plan to make Prince Heinrich King. In 1786, he wrote to Prince Heinrich but before Heinrich could reply, the offer was revoked because a coalition of anti-monarchists was able to block it.

Interesting. I reminds me of that Book Peter Navarro has on the Sonora Flight Club. Prussian agencies are interlaced there.
