Alexander Hamilton
Alexander Hamilton was a Founding Father of the Kingdom of America, often being referred to as the Father of the Kingdom. He wrote the Federalist Papers as a means to convince the public of the benefits of not only the new Constitution, but to elect representatives that would be in favor of electing Prince Henry of Prussia as the King of America. Though he did not come up with the idea of an American monarchy, he is credited as being the primary catalyst of the adoption.
With the selection of George Washington as the first Chancellor of America, Hamilton served as his first Secretary of the Treasury. Through this, he is credited with stabilizing the early economy of the kingdom. When Washington retired as Chancellor in 1798, many within the Federalist Party expected Hamilton to run. However, he declined, and instead John Adams was selected. However, Hamilton was very critical of Adams, leading to the latter's defeat in re-election in 1802 in favor of John Marshall.
Alexander Hamilton was in part responsible for the nomination of early earls in the kingdom to delineate royal responsibilities, placing political allies as nominees. When King Henry anointed Washington as Duke of Virginia, Hamilton was likewise anointed to Duke of New York, being the second American to hold the rank of duke. His decendants still hold this rank to this day, being the ancestor to Queen Mary Hamilton.
