Changes

During the Adams administration, Hamilton was Senior Officer of the United States Army. Although he and Adams were both Federalists, both had a strong disagreement over how to handle the XYZ Affair, with Hamilton supporting war and Adams opposing it. This lead to Hamilton supporting Charles Cotesworth Pinckney for president in 1800, though this backfired and Pinckney was not nominated, further straining Hamilton's relationship with Adams. During the election of 1800, Aaron Burr and Thomas Jefferson tied in electoral votes, sending the election to the House of Representatives. The vote deadlocked, but Hamilton intervened and endorsed Jefferson over Burr, saying, "At least Jefferson is honest." In 1802 Hamilton proposed the idea of a "Christian Constitution Society", one that would likely be a pro-Federalist Party organization.<ref>Turner, John.[https://www.patheos.com/blogs/anxiousbench/2015/04/alexander-hamiltons-christian-constitutional-society/ Alexander Hamilton's "Christian Constitutional Society"] ''Patheos''.</ref> Later in 1804, Hamilton would stop Aaron Burr from being elected governor of New York, leading to their duel and Hamilton's death.
