The United States Monarchy, A fictional or deviant of World History based in North America and the United States in the late 1700s, was instigated during the American Revolution by Alexander Hamilton, a US Revolutionary and Founding Father[1]. This was originally rejected in the Constitutional Convention of 1787, but was brought up by Hamilton again in the signing of the 1789 Constitution. Changes were made to the original constitution to make reference of the United States becoming a monarchy instead of a republic. Signed by George Washington, leader of the American Revolution and Founding Father. On July 4th, 1789. George Washington is crowned by the US Congress as King George I. Following the crowning of George, the US Congress is dissolved in favor of a Parliamentary System, listing the United States as the first Constitutional Pure Monarchy. A Constitutional Pure Monarchy, was a type of Monarchy-Republic hybrid that favored the Monarch over the formed government while still having an in place government. All laws had to be approved by the Monarch after being approved by the parliament and the Prime Minister and a Monarch could impeach any member in the government.
George I did not have any direct children, so the government was passed through his external family through his father, Augustine Washington Sr. At the death of George I, Augustine Washington Jr. had passed away 37 years earlier, the crown was passed to George's nephew and Augustine's son, William, becoming William I, then through his son George who became George II.
The monarchy of the United States nearly faced extinction when Queen Esther, daughter of King Edward I passed away. There were no direct descendants of the Washington family, but due to a legitimacy claim, Anne, grand-daughter of Robert E. Lee was able to claim the throne because of a marriage between Eleanor, Princess of Maryland and Lawrence, Prince of Virginia, allowing a legitimate claim to be held through the Lee family, the Lee Family also held a illegitimate claim through King George I, as Queen Martha, wife of King George I, re-married into the Custis family and had a son named John, who was the father of Eleanor.
As the formal lands of the United States grew, titles had to be accommodated to members of the Washington, Custis, Lee and Madison families. Including Princes, Princesses, Earls, Dukes and Countess, along with a formed royal title by the Custis line known as Pyres, Pyres ruled outlying territories, such as the Philippines, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands along with other territories.
