Alexander Hamilton, one of the US Founders, outright advocated for a monarch on grounds that
it will be just for all citizens.https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Hamilton/01-04-02-0098-0002#ARHN-01-04-02-0098-0002-fn-0013-ptrIf government in the hands of the few, they will tyrannize over the many.
If (in) the hands of the many, they will tyrannize over the few. It ought to be in the hands of both; and they should be separated.
This separation must be permanent.
Representation alone will not do.
Demagogues will generally prevail.
And if separated, they will need a mutual check.
This check is a monarch.
...
The monarch must have proportional strength. He ought to be hereditary, and to have so much power, that it will not be his interest to risk much to acquire more.
The advantage of a monarch is this—he is above corruption—he must always intend, in respect to foreign nations, the true interest and glory of the people.
Trump's shitshow circus proves that Hamilton was really onto something.
