Not many ; I cannot give a precise number. I believe in the debates Alexander Hamilton argued for a limited monarchy. Keep in mind the Articles of Confederation had an extremely weak executive, and this had created difficulties for the United States. It was almost certain that the executive would be George Washington, a completely trustworthy figure. Even Hamilton may not have really wanted a king, but argued for one in order to help make the president stronger. Hamilton greatly distrusted the masses.

None. All of the founders were in favor of creating a republic. However, as mentioned previously, the original government framework under the Articles of Confederation created such a weak executive that many, including Hamilton, were willing to take a Constitutional Monarch---a limited monarchy---over the weak and fumbling government they had created.

Alexander Hamilton was for a Presidency for Life and James Madison was for one as well.
