Who would have thought a government created in model of a constitutional monarchy would do this?
Oh right, all the people who opposed the US constitution. People forget the Anti Federalists every time.

He knew it from the beginning. People didn’t listen.

Except most of the Anti Federalists weren’t arguing against the specifics of the model, they were arguing against a centralized government at all. Which had literally just failed.

Next you’re gonna tell me a constitutional monarchy isn’t a centralized government.

I mean, did he propose a solution?

Yeah, don’t have political parties.

To some extent, political parties are naturally occuring . The group dynamics of a legislative body will naturally result in groups forming around specific issues and even philosophies. But there is definitely a strong argument to be made that we’ve made them far too official, and far too entrenched.

He also didn’t want to be president or have his face on money. They really just ignored the dude.

I guess ignoring Washington’s wishes foreshadowed what the US would eventually become.
