The election of 1800 was very important because people realized that the Constitution didn’t distinguish electoral votes for president and vice president which caused some problems. Both John Adams and I decided to run for president again. Burr and I were running together again for Democratic Republican. Later on in the election instead of running together we became rivals. The election would be decided by the House of Representatives. Federalists did not want me to win so they supported Burr. After several days of voting I was declared winner and Burr became my Vice President. In the end the twelfth amendment was changed. I am happy to say that after two terms as President John Adams and I were able to become friends, we also died on the same day.
