We all know that 1800 was a weird and dangerous situation thanks to the electoral college and everything about it, mainly due to Burr and Jefferson facing each other to become President because Adams burned too many bridges. So, for a change and to get him out of the way, let's say Jefferson dies of a disease or infection before 1800, preferably between 1798 and 1800 and Madison, as I think he did per OTL, decides to op out and wait (could be wrong on that), allowing for Burr to be all but unopposed (Clinton will still probably go for it) as the D-R choice. Who would be his running mate and what would the 1800 election itself look like? If Burr wins (likely due to, as I said, Adams having burned too many bridges to win), what would his cabinet look like and what would be his policies? IIRC, Burr was very progressive for his time, supporting women sufferage and I think he was very much an abolitionist than other Northerners at that time, though the marriage of his daughter to Alston might suggest otherwise. I doubt he could get women sufferage passed through Congress, given they were very steadfast in that regard, but maybe he could convince them to allow Women Senators/Representatives via constitutional Amendment or by having each state determining whether or not they'll do that, though this could be ASB.
Also, I know this question has been asked before, but it almost always got bogged down and turned into discussions of Burr as a person and the conflict between Jefferson and Burr, hence why Got the former out of the way. So, what are you ideas to answer this WI?
