Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Aaron Burr killed Alexander Hamilton even though they had much in common because of disparaging remarks Hamilton had allegedly made about Burr at a dinner. Burr hated Hamilton because they were political adversaries. He was also jealous of Hamilton's success and attention. He believed he deserved everything that Hamilton had. Burr was one of the most maligned and mistrusted public figures of his era—and, without question, the most controversial vice president of the early republic—but he never attempted to justify or explain his actions to his friends or to his enemies. He would have made a horrible president at the time. Same with Hamilton. Both were more concerned with their reputations.
