If George Washington had become king of America our government might have become a monarchy.

Explanation:

The monarchy is a form of State (although in many occasions it is defined as a form of government) in which a group integrated in the State, usually a family that represents a dynasty, embodies the national identity of the country and his head, the monarch, plays the role of head of state. The political power of the monarch can vary from the purely symbolic (parliamentary monarchy), to integrate into the form of government: with considerable but restricted executive powers (constitutional monarchy), to the completely autocratic (absolute monarchy).

explanation: we can only guess at how our actions may be perceived in the future. doing something really big like killing lots of people, saving lots of people, affecting the lives of lots of people is a sure fire way of being remembered in historical records. we can also make a difference in the history records by being a small influence on something bigger, whether that is as a civil servant, scientist or artist.

of course you could argue that we all affect history just as tiny cogs in a   bigger machine.

if you mean how do people influence our opinions of things which have already happened, then simply by writing a book which looks at things form a different perspective and trying to convince people that this perspective is more accurate or truthful. people do it all the time i.e. richard the third was a terrible or was he? plenty would disagree, it's just that their views aren't the most widely known.n:
