The spoils system was created to reward or "spoil" representatives who voted for Jackson's policies.

In political science, the expression "spoils system" describes a practice by which the political parties of the government distribute among their own militants and sympathizers institutional positions and positions of power. Although the general line of this political behavior has its basis in the system of political clientelism, the expression "spoils system" does not imply a negative connotation, that is to say, that such distribution of positions is necessarily abusive. In other words, it is a morally neutral expression that describes a formally recognized and openly applied practice, in certain historical periods, both in the United States and in other countries.

sergeinik [125]
There is a system in the united states constitution, which was made practically to control the amount of power each branch of government has. this system is called checks and balances and it is very important to our government. without a system to prevent one branch of government from having more power over another, the government would be controlled by one group of people. it would not be fair to the people of the united states if one branch had more power over another. this system is intended to prevent tyranny. 
the three branches of government are; the legislative branch, the executive branch, and the judicial branch. the legislative branch is run by congress, which includes the house of representatives and the senate. the main responsibility of the legislative branch is to make laws. the executive branch is run by the president of the united states,. the president enforces laws and presents new ones, in control of the new forces, and has vetoing power. the judicial branch is run by the supreme court. the power the judicial branch has is to analyze the constitution and reviewing laws.
