WI, during the assault on Redoubt #10 during the Battle of Yorktown, Alexander Hamilton is run through by a British bayonet and killed?
The United States collapses as Hamilton cannot convince New York to ratify the constitution. Total chaos reigns after that, and perhaps the British return, or the french or spanish take advantage to grow their colonial holdings.
Hamilton did write most of the Federalist Papers, though. That would at least have down-the-road effects on American understanding of the Constitution.
Also, without the acrimony between him and Adams, the Federalist Party would be a lot less divided... so long as Washington's administration still ends in a recognizable form.

Lack of ratification of the constitution and general civil strife cause Washington to have second thoughts. Congress offers him the crown of emperor and he accepts.
