An interesting question. One would first have to elucidate the likely changes to America's institutions following George Washington's coronation. The office of "president" would be eliminated and replaced by the crown. Presumably, Washington (who hated politics) would rule as a constitutional monarch. So Congress and the Judicial Branch would remain. The Constitution itself would have to be amended to incorporate the new monarchy but the rights of the people would probably stay pretty much the same.
Obviously there would be those who would resist the reinstating of the monarchy and we would presume that John Adams would have them all arrested. There goes Thomas Jefferson, Tom Paine, etc., etc.
American politics would become even more elitist than it developed in the OTL.
Evidently, George Washington had no children, so the crown would have passed either to the son of is older half-brother or to the son of his younger full-brother, so there's a succession crisis right there.
In the end, the United States of America (which would no doubt have a different name to reflect the fact that sovereignty resided in the crown and not in a federation of sovereign republics) would be ruled by Paul Emerson Washington.
I meant to say something funny but I got lazy.
I loathe NOOBWI's and the people who partake in them instantly lose their rights to exist.
