A merit-based system is one in which a person is valued for their achievements or merits. This means that the things taken into consideration to hire a person are their experience, knowledge, skill set, and any other abilities that prove relevant to the job. The ideal candidate will be the person who is best prepared and, therefore, deserves the job the most.
Other factors such as family connections, friends, or affiliation to a particular political party are not taken into consideration in a merit-based system.
The correct answer is; The United States Constitution.
Further Explanation:
Both Montesquieu and Locke can be described as enlightenment philosophers. They both had ideas and theories on how the government should be used to govern the citizens. When the writers of the constitution were gathered together, they put their theories in the constitution.
The Spirit of the Laws was written by Baron de Montesquieu. He published the book in 1748. The Two Treatises of Government of was written by John Locke. The book was published in 1689. He initially had the book published anonymously because he wasn't happy with that particular edition. He did not like the spelling errors and other printing errors. He had one other edition printed before his death but was still not fully happy. He hand edited the third edition and gave it to his friends to get published. He died before seeing the last edition published.

A taping system (aka recording device) installed in the office of the President helped lead to the downfall of President Nixon. While Nixon was president, a recording device was installed in his office to record phone and in-person conversations. When being accused of having ties to the Watergate break-in, the Supreme Court ruled that Nixon must release his taped conversations. These conversations had incriminating evidence and showed Nixon's true intent as president. Ultimately, the evidence discovered by these recorded conversations lead to Nixon's resignation.
The Reformation actually started after Columbus's landing in North America.
<span>Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494 was forced on Spain and Portugal by the Pope. The Pope basically said that all lands in the New World belonged to Spain and all new non-Christian lands in the Eastern Hemisphere belong to Portugal. No other Catholic countries can do anything in those areas without the approval of the owner. </span>
<span>The pope basically drew two lines on the globe setting the border. The western line started at the north pole cut half way through Greenland and ended at the south pole. The new world was everything to the west. Problem is that it ran through a chunk of Brazil which is why Brazil is an ex-Portuguese colony. </span>
<span>The Eastern line starts at the North Pole runs through siberia, through the pacific just west of Japan, and cuts Australia in half. Of course, Australia hadn't been discovered yet. Everything to the the east of this line is the new world. </span>
<span>Obviously, this treaty didn't hold up well, but the reformation gave the protestant countries an excuse to explore the new world since they didn't have to take orders from the Pope. Even so, France, a catholic country, ignored it too. </span>
<span>Really, the only country that was effected by the reformation in the exploration of the Americas was England. All the other countries, changed their religion once and then went to war with the nearest catholic country. Sweden became Lutheran and stayed that way. The Dutch Republic became Calvinists and stayed that way. </span>
<span>England kept switching. First it was Catholic. Then, Henry VIII made it protestant. Then, Henry's daughter Mary I made it catholic again. Henry's other daughter Elizabeth I (with the two hit movies) made it Protestant again. </span>
<span>Years latter, Oliver Cromwell over through the monarchy, executed the King Charles I, and established a Protestant fundamentalist religious military dictatorship. He outlawed drinking,smoking, gambling, theater, dirty books, sports, prostitution, and anything generally fun. He would have made Saudi Arabia proud. Basically, all you could do is work, pray, and die. Sex was allowed for creating children, but you couldn't enjoy it. </span>
<span>When Cromwell died, the people of England said enough was enough and brought back the King. Charles II kicked out the fundamentalists and brought back drinking, smoking, gambling, dirty books, sports, prostitution, and having fun during sex. Incidentally, those were also all his hobbies. </span>
<span>This brings us to the famous Pilgrims. They were part of Cromwell's crowd. They kept agitating a return to the no-fun policy. They annoyed everybody. They weren't persecuted for practicing their religion, they were persecuted because they kept trying to force their religion on everyone else. Sort of like Southern Baptists. </span>
<span>Charles II was the most easy going monarch in British history. Do realize how annoying you have to be to get him to throw you out. </span>
<span>Charles's brother James II was obsessed with turning Great Britain catholic again. After four years of trying, they kicked him and his followers out. </span>
