Louis XVI was no republican

He was also under the influence of much more radical right: 1) his wife Marie Antoinette (from Austrian dynasty of Habsburg), 2) his brothers : Louis de Provence, Charles d´Artois, 3) emigration (aristocracy that already during 1789, 1790 escaped to Rhineland, especially to Koblenz). When he tried to escape, he was caught with all his family in Varennes, and then executed (January 1793).
The purpose of the spoils system is to give your supporters political positions in various federal offices. To the victor go the spoils means that if you win, you can put all your friends or family members or party members at high positions because you control those positions.
