 Jefferson
and some compatriots attempt to manage, manipulate and break the electoral tie between
Jefferson and Aaron Burr. The House of Representatives has taken 35 votes and each has
ended in a tie. Jefferson has to use his influence, his intelligence, and his political
power to force the deadlock open in his favor. In so doing, he attempts to elicit help
from his arch philosophical and political opponent, Alexander Hamilton. This play
dramatizes the political acumen of one of our most complex leaders. Written by R. David
Cox. Published 1997. 35 pages. |
