Answer:  The spoils system

The term "spoils system" was used by President Jackson's political opponents, who took a very negative view of his practice of rewarding political supporters with government jobs.  The origin of the term, however, came from one of Jackson's supporters.  In a speech in the Senate, defending Jackson and his administration, Senator William Marcy of New York said, "To the victors belong the spoils."

Jackson's opponents bristled at that thought and continued to speak against what became known as "the spoils system."

They also couldn't speak about the two totalitarian leaders in a bad way because they were scared about execution. Even if someone stood up against them, the dictators would respond brutally, often killing them and their families.

Which statement best explains how economic indicators are used to evaluate the macroeconomic goal of maintaining stable prices?
sineoko [7]

The fewer changes to the Consumer Price Index, the closer the economy is to maintaining stable prices.

Answer: Option A
