Why did Alexander Hamilton choose to support Thomas Jefferson instead of Alexander Burr?

Jefferson had belifes as burr had none, was what hamilton had thought.

although Alexander Hamilton hated Jefferson, he voted for him because of the fact that, in his eyes Burr had no belifes, didn't stand for nothing he was waiting for it (im so sorry), as Jefferson had belife, he had a goal, stood for somthing, and He would do what he needed to do to make it happen.

Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr were bitter political rivals. Hamilton thought Burr was dishonest, disreputable and dangerous, which may or may not have been the truth, but was certainly Hamilton's belief.

Hope this helps! :)
