  Monarchism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The International Monarchist League, founded in 1943, which has been very influential in Canada and Australia, has always sought to promote monarchy on the grounds that it strengthens popular liberty, both in a democracy and in a dictatorship, because by definition the monarch is not beholden to politicians.
The minority are restorationists, who advocate returning authority to Elizabeth II as the current legitimate heir of George III, presumably as a constitutional monarchy similar to her powers in those Commonwealth of Nations members that recognize her as Queen.
However, the majority of American Monarchists believe that America would best be led by an independent dynasty.

It is American practice that the Judiciary justifies every law which trenches on the liberties of the people and nullifies every act of the Legislature by which the people seek to regain some measure of their freedom.

 Monarchist Society of America Home Page
Monarchists (Royalists) are adherents to the notion of monarchy and monarchic government.
Not all monarchists are of aristocratic or royal blood themselves, but they all share the notion that aristocracy and monarchy (hereditary or otherwise) are superior forms of government.
However, prominent monarchists are and have been of aristocratic and royal blood, and often have raised the standard of monarchism to keep the legitimate claims of their own lines alive, as well as that of monarchism as a form of government in general.

 American Revolution - Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of the United States and Author of the Declaration of Independence
Returning to Virginia late in 1776, Jefferson served until 1779 in the House of Delegates, one of the two houses of the General Assembly of Virginia--established in 1776 by the state's new constitution.
The proposed ordinance of 1784 reflected Jefferson's belief that the western territories should be self-governing and, when they reached a certain stage of growth, should be admitted to the Union as full partners with the original 13 states.
Jefferson's triumph was delayed temporarily as a result of a tie in electoral ballots with his running mate, Aaron Burr, which shifted the election to the House of Representatives.

 The Pastoral Review
If we look at politics, for instance, it can be seen that the most significant development in British and American politics in the last ten years has been the retreat from belief among both politicians and voters.
The decline of the Conservative Party in Britain, though undoubtedly driven by legislative exhaustion and self-immolation over Europe, was in large part due to its reputation for censoriousness: towards single mothers, homosexuals and families of mixed culture or composition.
Clintonian campaigning — reproduced in a slightly anglicised form by Blair — was based on what’s known in America as ‘big tent politics’: the idea being to construct an electoral marquee so wide that someone on the left of the right could happily stand alongside someone on the right of the left.

Perhaps equally important, however, was the life of his mind and spirit; in a pungent diary, vivid letters, learned tracts, and patriotic speeches he revealed himself as a quintessential Puritan, patriarch of an illustrious family, tough-minded philosopher of the republic, sage, and sometimes a vain, stubborn, and vitriolic partisan.
He returned to Paris in October 1782 to insist on American rights (especially to fish on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland) in the negotiations that led to Britain's recognition of the independence of the United States in the Treaty of Paris of Sept. 3, 1783.
Then, appointed the first American minister to Britain, Adams presented his credentials to George III in 1785, noting his pride in having the distinguished honor to be the first {ex-colonial subject} to stand in your Majesty's royal presence in a diplomatic character.

The very beginning of the Master/Slave relationship is caused by one of the parties of this struggle for recognition giving up his fight for fear of the death.
Hegel also recognized that other nations had only partially overcome their internal Master/Slave relationship, so this was always a matter of degree.
Hegel's own treatment of positions which he did not endorse is, typically, one of embracing and penetrating the opposition, to show, from within, their internal inconsistencies and self-contradictions.
