Answer:

If America was a monarchy, the history would be very different. There would be a king or queen instead of a president. The government would be run differently and there would be different laws. Key events like, the Revolutionary War and the Civil War would not have happened because America would not have been fighting for independence or fighting against slavery. Some ideas might be, America would still be under British rule, America would be its own country but with a monarchy, or America would be divided into different monarchies across the country. America as a monarchy is a very interesting thought, but it is impossible to know exactly how history would change. While, in a monarchy, the king or queen has all the power, in a democracy, the people have the power to elect officials and make decisions about the country which is, arguably, a more fair system. Countries that are monarchy's though, tend to have a much longer history than America, so it is difficult to say if America would be better off or worse off as a monarchy since, we simply do not have enough information.
