that decisions were made just to undermine a man who they did not like as Jefferson believed that Marshalls decision was warped in favor of Burr by his own dislike for Jefferson. A government will not work with someone who is paranoid such as Jefferson is and it cannot work when the judgment of one man is swayed by the dislike for another. The conspiracy also showed weakness in the governmental structure of the new republic because the republic allowed a man whos sights were set on land domination into the white house as a vice president. Andrew Burr should have been closer examined as all people part of a government agency that is running the country. Though there were proved to be many weaknesses in the new republic with the Burr Conspiracy there also proved to be some strengths. The United States proved that treason was no small offense, Burr was not convicted due to the simple fact that he could not be traced back too Blennerhassett’s Island at the time of the destruction. The new republic also showed that you cannot run from the government, Burr went into hiding and the United States sent regimens of troops after him and he was found rather quickly in that time, and was put on trial very quickly. The Burr conspiracy was something that rocked America right in the beginning but it also showed much power and belief within the new government and legal system. It uprooted problems that may have not been noticed earlier such as the ability of one man to make a decision, and the “he is out to get me idea”. The strengths it proved the government had was that if you crossed the country you would be found there was no hiding.
