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 . </P>
