George Washington is sworn into office in New York, while the now King Henry I is coronated in Philadelphia. Having been inspired much by Washington, the coronation is much more conservative than European counterparts, and is instead similar to the swearing in. Even the crown was designed specifically to be much less extravagant than European counterparts, such as St Edward’s Crown.
  The majority of the advisory staff are formed  into the Executive Cabinet, with the Chancellor as the chairman. The Chancellor becomes the appointer of all cabinet members, with the exception of the Secretary to the Monarch, though the appointments require approval of the King before going to Congress for confirmation. The King becomes the Commander in Chief of the armed forces. As such, the King is authorized to give commands to personnel, but cannot give field orders.
  With the administration now established, Washington’s appointments are Secretary of Treasury Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of the State Thomas Jefferson, Attorney General Edmund Rudolph, and Secretary of War Henry Knox. King Henry I appoints Secretary to the Monarch Nathaniel Gorham. John Adams is selected to be the President of the Senate. 
  During this time, contention fills the Executive Cabinet. Jefferson’s temperament distances many state governors from his efforts. Continuing that, the French Revolution sees him as the sole supporter of the Republican Revolutionaries in the Cabinet. This backfires as a similar uprising occurs in what would be Tennessee under the belief that the newly established government and monarchy are too supporting of Britain by refusing to support France against them. The uprising is led by ambitious visionary Andrew Jackson.
  King Henry dispatches troops only in defensive positions around effected townships, rather than aggressively hunting down the rebels. Once under custody, King Henry issues pardons for all involved, with support from Washington. This sways public opinion against the rebels, and Hamilton’s papers show the King as a protector rather than an aggressor.
  Hamilton’s economic policy is hindered some by this, but Jefferson’s coalition against it is weakened by recent events. Once passed, King Henry establishes permanent trade deals with Prussia and the Netherlands, but urges caution with trade to the French.
  Baron von Steuben is announced as Prussia’s first diplomat to America.
