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.

How is a baby duck’s instinct for protection different that a porcupine’s instinct to protect itself?
Westkost [7]

The duck has no system of defense like a porcupine so their instinct is thus different

Explanation:

A porcupine defends itself from an attacker by keeping its face hidden on the bare ground and keeping its belly down to the ground while shooting up the quills on its back.

The quills are not poisonous but still can kill an assailant.

The duck has no such form of defense so it often has the instinct of hiding and not doing that position.

The duck usually tries to run away from the danger as it has no advantage in standing the ground to defend.

In a 125-word paragraph, explain why it is important for the president of the United States to give citizens a sense of purpose
Usimov [2.4K]
It is important for the President to give citizens a sense of purpose and pride because without either of those you will have citizens that will be living their every day lives wondering whether or not their lives have purpose.  They will live life as if all they live for is to pay taxes and then die.
