Best Answer

Alexander Hamilton had earlier disliked Thomas Jefferson during the Washington presidency, however, when Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr received the same number of votes during the election of 1800, many of the federalists during the lame duck session in the house of Representatives wanted to vote for Aaron Burr to ruin the democratic-republican party and secure a Federalist hold on the government. However, Alexander Hamilton wrote letters and persuaded enough of the representatives to vote for Thomas Jefferson, making him the third President of the United States.
