History

Eddi Din [679]4 years ago

Spoil system is the term which was first used in the time of Andrew Jackson' presidentship. It was the cynical republicans who appeared to oppose corruption but in reality they created a corrupt entrenched administrative bureaucracy.

Explanation:

Andrew Jackson ensured that he too enough measures to annihilate corruption in his office. Basically, loyalty played a dominant role in offering highest offices in the presidential office rather than skill and expertise which is a back lash during the gilded age. Biased bureaucracy which gave importance to party loyalty took a major role in crating an administration which failed to recognize the knowledge, talent and expertise.

During Jackson' era many measures  such as Sherman antitrust laws were also passed to stop monopoly which helped corruption to grow indirectly in the society. Southern reconstruction, civil rights movement and rise of labor unions were all the aftereffects of the gilded age.

What were the causes of the Mexican Revolution of 1810? (OC1)
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Two things that helped spark the revolution were the salons and the location of Mexico. These salons were important because they gave the people a place to talk and discuss ideas. At the salons, during the Peninsular War, people began to discuss enlightenment ideas and independence. These discussions would allow for the revolution to take root with the common people, in turn leading to the support of the revolution by thousands of Mexicans. Because of Mexico’s close proximity to the United States, these enlightenment ideas were able to flow easily between the two countries. Also, the Mexican people were able to see the success of the American Revolution up close, in turn leading them to talks of independence for their own county. Thus, it is clear that the geographic proximity of Mexico to the United States and the salons played a key role in sparking the revolution.
