<u>Answer</u>:

The Pendleton Civil Service Act intended to reform the federal hiring practices.

<u>Explanation</u>:

This act was to ensure federal employment based on merit rather than hiring based on affiliations with political parties. Following the widespread corruption and incompetence post Civil war, the public demanded civil service to be reformed.

All the citizens were to be given equal opportunity for employment for federal services regardless of their national origin, race, ethnicity, etc. This provided protection to the federal employees. It was also according to this act illegal to demote government officials for political reasons. A commission was formed to ensure the merit system.

Answer:

The correct answer is c) Enslaved persons who escape must be returned to their home states.  

Explanation:

Slavery in the USA began in 1441, initially the slaves were Native Americans, but were later replaced by Africans.

People proclaimed slaves by their masters, should obey every order he/she gave them, many people tried to escape their slavery, but this was an unsuccessful action since there was a stipulation in the United States by the constitution called " the runaway slave clause. "

In the runaway slave clause, it demanded that all those slaves who escape to another state should be returned to their master, in the same situation that was found, which resulted in enslaved people never being free. This clause was in effect until the abolition of slavery.
