In 1788 The Delagates were still at the constitutional convention then James Madison got an idea "If we can't do anything about democracy lets have a monarchy but the people elect the king and Prime Minister once every 4 years a new king and Prime Minister is voted in unless the incumbent runs again." This idea was voted upon and immediately passed without debate.
In 1790 America went to the polls and voted for it's first Parliment, King, Prime Minister.
RESULTS:
King: George Washington 52 John Adams 21 Thomas Jefferson 26 James Madison 30
George Washington becomes first King!!!
Prime Minister: Alexander Hamilton 25, John Adams 15, Thomas Jefferson 36 James Monroe 4
Thomas Jefferson becomes first Prime Minister
Parliment: Pro-Monarchy 15, Pro-Democracy 11. Total: 26 Parliment members
Pro-Monarchy takes 4 vote majority
