Civil Service reforms, such as the Pendleton Act, during the Gilded Age

History
1 answer:
marta [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The Pendleton emerged as a political reaction against the spoils system that was predominant in America at the time.

Explanation:

In the spoils system, government officials were not appointed based on merit, but based on political patronage, that is to say, government officials were appointed in exchange for political support, both ideological and financial.

The spoils system reached a height during the presidency of Andrew Jackson, and this created tensions in the political class.

For this reason, Congress adopted the Pendleton Act in 1883. This act determined that civil servants should be appointed based on merit. It even led to the creation of entry-exams for government officials. Finally, it also prohibited the demotion of government officials because of political reasons.

WILL MARK BRAINLESS!!! The Gettysburg Address is a remarkable speech. It is only 272 words long and took only two minutes to del
xxMikexx [17]
Both speeches focus on the history of fighting for a cause leading up to the Civil War. The US was built on revolutionary spirit and men's lives lost for the bigger idea of freedom. The deaths of the men will mean something because the cause of the war means something.

These addresses revitalized the Union effort and reminded the men of the long history they were now a part of. They stand on the side of freedom and that will be meaningful. This dedicate brought up morale in Union forces.
