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."

Compare the Mongol impact on two major societies:Russia, Persia, China
Amanda [17]

Answer:

The Mongols had a lasting impact on both China and Persia

Explanation:

The Mongols were able to control China and effectively rule it for centuries. Their reign saw China grow even more powerful and was seen as a center for business and scientific research.

In Persia, where the Mongols plundered and captured many cities, the impact can still be felt in the language, the people and the food.

However, while China became very powerful under the mongols and the people prospered, Persia was completely stagnant for decades. Large cities such as Tabriz and Baghdad, lost their economic might and it took centuries for this part to become prominent again.
