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."

Which of the following is an example of the idea of "separation of powers" in the American constitutional system?
hodyreva [135]

<em>B. The process for creating laws involves Congress and the president.</em>

Explanation:

The idea of "<em>separation of powers</em>" is very important and creates balance within the American constitutional system. Since all of the branches are equal in power, this means they check each other and prevent one another from abusing their power.

There are three branches in the United States government, legislative, executive, and judicial.

~The legislative branch is responsible for making the laws.

~The executive branch carries out these laws.

~The judicial branch will then interpret these laws.

Along with this, the legislative branch consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives, which together form Congress. The President resides within the executive branch, along with the Vice President and the Cabinet. The judicial branch holds the Supreme Court and other federal courts.
