How was the tie settled between Jefferson and burr?

The tie between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr in the 1800 presidential election was settled by the House of Representatives. The election resulted in 73 electoral votes for both men, leading to a prolonged deadlock. After 36 ballots, Jefferson was ultimately chosen as president, with Burr becoming vice president, largely due to political maneuvering and the support of influential Federalists who preferred Jefferson over Burr.
