The spoils system referred to:

  • <u>B. the appointment of friends and political supporters to government positions</u>

The spoils system refers to a system where political appointments are made  as a favor or payback to the friends and supporters of a politician when he is appointed in public office.

As a result of this, the people who are appointed may not always be qualified for a particular position, so it is not based on meritocracy, but rather as a favor to them.

Which action did reformer miguel Trujillo take to expand civil rights ​
avanturin [10]

Answer:

When Miguel Trujillo, from Isleta Pueblo and a veteran of the Marine Corps during World War II, went to register to vote, he was told by the county registrar, Eloy Garley, that he could not register since he was an Indian living on a reservation.Trujillo was incensed. He brought suit against the county registrar and won. (Trujillo v. Garley) Felix Cohen, who had written the definitive book on Indian law, the Handbook of Federal Indian Law, was Trujillo’s attorney. Finally, in 1948, Indians in New Mexico could vote for the first time. Trujillo and Cohen became friends and worked on other issues of civil rights in New Mexico and in the South.The case also debunked the myth that Indians did not pay taxes. The only taxes Indians did not pay, the court said, was taxes on the land the government held in trust for them. They had to pay sales taxes, income taxes, and all other taxes.
