Answer: determined by a merit system based on civil service examinations

Explanation:

The <em>Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act </em>of 1883 was signed to overhaul Federal employment methods that favored political affiliation instead of merit.

In the 1870s, federal office holders were engaged in a form of patronage that would see them giving federal jobs to people who funded them or those who supported them politically.

This Act changed all that when it made it unlawful to give people jobs due to their political affiliation but rather on the basis of merit which would be determined by civil service examinations.

How does capitalism of the High Middle Ages compare with capitalism today?
dezoksy [38]

As you may already know, capitalism arose between the end of the feudal system and the rise of burgesia during the passage from the middle ages to the modern age. At that time, capitalism had many characteristics that equaled the modern capitalism we know today, such as changes in the mode of production of products and services, increased urbanization, and the emergence of new manufacturing techniques that enable commodity prices to be cheapened.

We still have similarities in the improvement of communications and means of transport that facilitate the arrival of products to distant territories.

What reasons did i give for saying max weber's definition of government as "a monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force"
Alisiya [41]

Due to the American system of federalism, over many areas of public policy, no single government has a monopoly over the legitimate use of force.

It emphasizes the executive function of government at the expense of the legislative and judicial functions of government.
