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."
Clause 38 of the Magna Card says as follows : In future no official shall place a man on trial upon his own unsupported statement, without producing credible witnesses to the truth of it. The Magna Carta is a cedula that King Juan "without land" of England granted to the English nobles in which he undertook to respect the privileges and immunities of the nobility.
