Federalist had controlled the national government until the election of 1800.
Jefferson’s Presidency shows that it is possible to have transfer of power from political party to another political party.

election per the Constitution Hamilton disliked Jefferson but really hated Burr
more and convinced Congress to go with Jefferson
Burr is now Vice President. Burr is furious! Page 285
