The correct answer is pork barrel spending.

Pork barrel spending ( sometimes called earmarking ) is a metaphor for <em>government's spending on localized projects in order to please or win voters in a representative's district.</em>

A politician promises his voters financial support for a project or investment, so that they vote for him in an election.

Pork barrel spending may help some bills pass through the legislative process, but it is usually considered a wasteful use of tax payers funds because it benefits selected constituencies of Congressional members and not the country as a whole.

Anabaptists, were a christian grouped who had origins that can be traced back to the sixteenth century. They were of the belief that anyone who professes to be a christian must make a conscious decision to follow Christ. As a result of that, they rejected infant baptism. Anyone who converted to their religion would have to be baptized again even if they had been baptized before as infants.

Their system of belief was based on the teachings of Christ's Sermon on the Mount. So, they did not swear oaths, engage in war or even participate in politics.
