Election Insurrection (Election Game)

Under the new laws of the United States Congress no longer was the nation run solely by the Confederation Congress. It created an entirely new executive branch, which would hold it’s own separate powers and be one of the most influential positions in United States history. It became a national symbol and identity of who represented the people and who led the country. From strong heroes of war, to the simple farm boys, to men wanting to change, or to even dynastic families. Every four years an election was to be held, and on April 30th of the following year the President of the United States of America would take his place as head of the executive branch

Welcome to the wikias first ever, but hopefully not last, Election Game.

1788 Presidential Election
It came to a shock of many when George Washington, the most likely candidate for the presidential election declined a year before hand. Though his explanation made it clear. He was tired and needed to retire to the countryside. Politics were not for him, and the days of war were over for the United States. So he simply resigned from his position and retired to his estate and Virginia where he would spend his days resting.

Another large surprise was seeing John Adams and Thomas Jefferson not run in the election either. Adams believed it was his job as the ambassador to Great Britain to improve relations with the United States’ former ruling nation and bring the nations to at least flexible relations. Jefferson believed it was his job to keep the relationship between the United States and Kingdom of France positive. As France had aided the United States greatly in their war for independence, and thought it fair to befriend the French as greatly as possible.

With three of the large front runners gone from the 1788 presidential election many looked to the other candidates to run, though many just as strong as a Washington, Adams, or Jefferson. Many others not so much. What will the fate of this young nation be?
