Prussian scheme information


The Prussian scheme refers to the rumor about a supposed suggestion in 1786 by Massachusetts politician Nathaniel Gorham that if the country adopted a constitutional monarchy like England it ought to invite Henry of Prussia, a German prince of the House of Hohenzollern, as the new king.

There was no interest on Prince Henry's part, and no evidence of any action ever taken by anyone.
