I'm sure this has been discussed before but I couldn't find a specific thread on this topic. In any event what would the Jefferson administration looked like had the election not been thrown to the House? Without being tainted by his effort to win the Presidency in the House would Burr play a more prominent part in the Jefferson administration? Would he remain a popular figure among Democratic Republicans or would there be an inevitable falling out between them? What are Burr's chances of becoming Jefferson's heir later on? What would a Burr administration under those circumstances look like? How long would a decisive 1800 election result delay the twelfth amendment? In short how different might the early decades of the 19th century in the United States had been had Jefferson clearly come in first place and Burr clearly come in second?
