Answer:
Canada–United States relations covers the bilateral relations between the adjacent countries of Canada and the United States. Relations between Canada and the United States historically have been extensive, given a shared border (the longest in the world) [2][3] and ever-increasing[4][5] close cultural, economical ties and similarities.[6][7]
The correct answer is D, as the reforms applied only to the federal government.
President Garfield was murdered at the hands of a stalwart to whom he had denied a public position. After his death, the Pendleton Act was sanctioned in 1883, to establish the ways in which federal government officials would accede to their positions, based on merit rather than political affiliation.

Answer:
For a democracy to be successful, and this is why many fledgling democracies fail, it has to have professional civil service, a strong and well-defined, well-developed constitution, and the trust that their elections are fair and free. These governments also have to prove to their people that the government can work, and is efficient at doing their job and providing for and protecting their people. The press needs to be free, so that the government can be accountable for its actions. The people need to be able to criticize the government, that is speech is relatively free, without fear of restriction or punishment.
