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

History
1 answer:
marta [7]3 years ago
8 0

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.

What are some reasons why Americans should not have the right to burn the flag?
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

I consider flag-burning to not only be an ineffective way to express disagreement, but toxic as well. More than that, I believe it to be a hate crime. Yes, it makes an obvious statement, but at the heart of it, all it truly exhibits is hatred for our country. I would even go so far as to question if flag-burning ought to be judged as treason.
