Election of 1800

The election of 1800 showcased the intense rivalry between Jefferson and Burr, with Hamilton playing a pivotal role in swaying votes. Despite winning, Jefferson ended up with Burr as vice president, a choice he quickly regretted after Burr's infamous duel with Hamilton. The passage of the 12th Amendment was a significant outcome, ensuring that future elections would prevent sitting presidents and vice presidents from running against each other.
