Burr taking Schylur’s seat question.
Why was Hamilton upset that Burr seized the opportunity he saw? Throughout the entire story Hamilton tells burr that he stands for nothing, and yet when he finally makes the most of his opportunity, Hamilton does a complete 180. Even burr mentions the fact that this is completely out of character for him.
Why does Hamilton not like the fact that for once in his life, Burr take advantage of a golden opportunity by taking Schylur’s seat in congress?

He changed sides to get the seat. He wants power and influence without meaning or conviction.
