Who won the election of 1800 decided in the House of Representatives?
The House of Representatives decided the 1800 election after Jefferson and Burr received a tie vote in the Electoral College. Jefferson and Burr were running mates but in those days the electors each cast two votes. The winner became president and the person finished second became vice-president . None of the 73 Republican electors dropped Burr's name from the ballot so Burr was tied with Jefferson instead of coming in second. The election was therefore thrown into the House of Representatives. After 35 deadlocked ballots in the House, Hamilton had his agents contacted Jefferson and they negotiated some vague commitments from Jefferson that he would continue some of the Federalist's foreign policy and maintain the Hamilton financial apparatus in the government, and Hamilton then would throw his support to Jefferson in the next House balloting. Hamilton was able to convince a few Federalists to abstain on the next ballot, and Jefferson was elected President on the 36th ballot. The election proved that the Constitutional method to elect a president was not workable, so in 1804 the Twelfth Amendment was added to the Constitution providing that electors would vote separately for president and vice president. The Election of 1800 is sometimes called the "Revolution of 1800" because it was the first time the executive branch was won by a non-Federalist. The election was close but the only real political change was that New York left the Federalist side and voted Jeffersonian Republican.

How did Thomas Jefferson's view of the national debt differ from that of Alexander Hamilton?
Their views were very different. After consolidating all the US foreign debt, the national debt and the state's debts (largely war costs), Hamilton saw the loans from Europe at 4 % instead of 6% as a breather for a few years while to give a chance for our economy to develop. He had set up a 'sinking fund' which was responsible for paying it off.Jefferson abhorred a national debt and it was a very high priority to pay it off ASAP. Very noble but then we had no money available to keep our security strong at home and Britain was tempted to take advantage and thus led us to the War of 1812-14. Jefferson did not understand finances.Jefferson also detested banks, the stock market, and manufacturing. He did not understand the value of their contribution. He denigrated Hamilton and his economic system. His first objective when he became president was to have his Secretary of Treasury, the esteemed Swiss Albert Gallatin, review all Hamilton's systems and root them out of being! After the review was done, Jefferson was told that the system was perfect and if you removed one part it would all fail. Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe all benefited from Hamilton's economic system throughout their 24 years of Presidencies.The ironic thing is that Jefferson was only able to purchase the Louisiana Territory because of Hamilton's financial credit success. Most of it was obtained through European lenders.Jefferson wanted to pay off the debt; Hamilton did not
