The correct answer is C) The spoils system was the practice of granting jobs and political favors to those who supported the winning party during the election.

The statement about the spoils system that is true is "The spoils system was the practice of granting jobs and political favors to those who supported the winning party during the election."

After the victory of Democrat Andrew Jackson over John Quincy Adams that represented the National Republican Party in the elections of 1828, Adams gave important jobs in the US federal government to his supporters and people who helped during the campaign. Instead of appointing the kind of experienced politicians who were capable of doing a good job for their credentials, Jackson tried to thank his supporters, relatives, and friends with government jobs. That was known as "the spoil system."

Describe the entire process of Martin Luther and his fight against the Catholic Church
Len [333]

During the 14th century, Martin Luther was a clergyman in the Catholic Church. During this period the Catholic Church was incredibly powerful in just about any way one might imagine. Although literacy was growing, the vast majority of the population could not read. This means the average person could not read and interpret the bible on their own and had to rely on the church. Martin Luther saw the practices of the church, and compared them to the bible. He felt the Catholic Church was wrong about many practices. In a moment of religious zeal he posted 95 thesis onto the door of his local church in Germany. His relatively new approach to Christianity brought about the protestant reformation. There is much more to the entire process but I hope this helps form more specific questions on the subject.
