Answer:
During the Republican National Convention of 1880, the Half-Breeds advocated the candidacy of James Blaine of Maine for president. A stalemate occurred between the Half-Breeds and the Stalwarts, and a compromise was struck to nominate a decent, less abrasive man: James Garfield.
Instead of giving federal jobs to political supporters, Rutherford B. Hayes wished to award them by merit according to an examination that all applicants would take. Immediately, Hayes’s call for reform brought him into conflict with the Stalwart, or pro-spoils, branch of the Republican party.
Hayes made strides toward eliminating political patronage in government jobs during his administration.

During the 1930s, the combination of the Great Depression and the memory of tragic losses in World War I contributed to pushing American public opinion and policy toward isolationism. Isolationists advocated non-involvement in European and Asian conflicts and non-entanglement in international politics. Although the United States took measures to avoid political and military conflicts across the oceans, it continued to expand economically and protect its interests in Latin America. The leaders of the isolationist movement drew upon history to bolster their position. In his Farewell Address, President George Washington had advocated non-involvement in European wars and politics. For much of the nineteenth century, the expanse of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans had made it possible for the United States to enjoy a kind of “free security” and remain largely detached from Old World conflicts. During World War I, however, President Woodrow Wilson made a case for U.S. intervention in the conflict and a U.S. interest in maintaining a peaceful world order. Nevertheless, the American experience in that war served to bolster the arguments of isolationists; they argued that marginal U.S. interests in that conflict did not justify the number of U.S. casualties.

In his speech to the Muslim community in Meeerut, he said “Now, suppose that all the English and the whole English army were to leave India, taking with them all their cannon and their splendid weapons and everything, then who would be rulers of India? Is it possible that under these circumstances two nations—the Muslims and the Hindus—could sit on the same throne and remain equal in power? Most certainly not". In the passage, he illustrates that the Muslims and the Hindus will not tolerate each other in the aspect of Government and that the English occupation has brought peace between the two religion

He said that "For the successful running of a democratic government, it is essential that the majority should have the ability to govern not only themselves but also unwilling minorities". This words affected his argument. He was speaking on the possibility that if the Europeans were to leave India, it Hindus and the Muslims can't formed a peaceful goverment together, while again saying that a democratic goverment has the Ability to control not only the majority but also the minority. In is speech, he stated that both were of different Nationality and therefore both can not formed a goverment together but he fail to realize that he was also against his point when he laid down the attributes of a Democratic goverment
In his Author' views, the European ideologies influenced the development of Indian society in the nineteenth century through the new ideologies made by the aims and objectives of the Indian National Congress which they presuppose that the various religions, castes, and ethnic groups of India can all be treated alike and all of them belong to the same nation. It can also be seen in the general acceptable goverment of democracy which which was being enforce in India by European.
