Why did he turn the crown down? Let's be honest Veeky Forums -whether or not you care for monarchism- Georgie rebelled against a king who he saw as a tyrant, not against monarchism as an ideology and he knew that. What did he think democracy could achieve that he couldn't as king?

He didn’t even want to be president for more than a decade why would he want to be king

He was never "offered" the crown, so to speak. Had he wanted to be a monarch, he would have had to do so through military power. He very well may have been able to do this, but it would have been something he took, not accepted.
As far as power, he almost certainly had more ambition than most people give him credit for, but he legitimately seemed to prefer running his farm estate to wielding total executive power. Heavy lies the crown and all that.

America wasn't intended to be a kingdom, but an Empire. An Empire of Liberty. This was stated numerous times by the Founders.

I remember seeing on a History Channel documentary many, many years ago that Washington considered making himself king for a little while, until his son died.
Are there any indications of this in letters or diaries or such, or was just History Channel bullshit?
