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.

As a result of french and indian war
Fofino [41]

The British victory in the French and Indian War had a great impact on the British Empire. Firstly, it meant a great expansion of British territorial claims in the New World. But the cost of the war had greatly enlarged Britain's debt. Moreover, the war generated substantial resentment towards the colonists among English leaders, who were not satisfied with the financial and military help they had received from the colonists during the war. All these factors combined to persuade many English leaders that the colonies needed a major reorganization and that the central authority should be in London. The English leaders set in motion plans to give London more control over the government of the colonies and these plans were eventually a big part of the colonial resentment towards British imperial policies that led to the American Revolution.
