Aaron Burr encounters then Secretary Alexander Hamilton in New York, and they discuss the legacy of the deceased General Mercer, pondering what their legacy will be. Their discussion is interrupted as Hamilton is ushered to a secret dinner table bargain, in which he, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison agree upon an unprecedented political compromise. The capital city of their new nation will be moved to the Potomac River, politically and geographically placing it in the South. In exchange for this, the Democratic - Republican Party will support Hamilton 's financial system in Congress, facilitating its passage into legislation. Burr enviously comments on how the American people, and more specifically himself, had no agency in this decision. He then decides to rectify this by running for political office in an effort to be in the eponymous room. This leads him to run as a Democratic - Republican against Philip Schuyler, Hamilton 's father - in - law, for the position of United States Senator for New York.
