What was the pendleton act and how did it impact patronage

1 answer:

6 0

The Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act is a United States federal law, enacted in 1883, which established that positions within the federal government should be awarded on the basis of merit instead of political affiliation. The act provided selection of government employees by competitive exams, rather than ties to politicians or political affiliation. It also made it illegal to fire or demote government officials for political reasons and prohibited soliciting campaign donations on Federal government property. To enforce the merit system and the judicial system, the law also created the United States Civil Service Commission. This board would be in charge of determining the rules and regulations of the act. The Act also allowed for the president, by executive order to decide which positions could be subject to the act and which would not. A crucial result was the shift of the parties to reliance on funding from business, since they could no longer depend on patronage hopefuls.

Sarah narrowly avoided a traffic accident and is experiencing rapid heart rate and other symptoms of the fight-or-flight stress

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Alarm

Explanation:

General adaptation syndrome (SAG) is the process that the body undergoes when it responds to stress. Be it physiological or psychological. The process consists of three steps: alarm, resistance and exhaustion.

In the alarm stage, our typical reactions are stimulated by two bodily hormones: epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) and norepinephrine (also known as norepinephrine).

Epinephrine mobilizes the release of glucose and fatty acids from fat cells. The body is able to use this hormone to respond to stress. Epinephrine and norepinephrine also have powerful effects on the heart. Both heart rate and stroke volume are increased. Thus, the heart rate of the body is increased. In this case, Sarah faced a moment of stress due to narrowly avoided a traffic accident
