<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.
