In the politics of representative democracies, a political machine is a political group in which an authoritative leader or small group commands the support of a corps of supporters and businesses (usually campaign workers), who receive rewards for their efforts. The machine's power is based on the ability of the boss or group to get out the vote for their candidates on election day. Although these elements are common to most political parties and organizations, they are essential to political machines, which rely on hierarchy and rewards for political power, often enforced by a strong party whip structure. Machines sometimes have a political boss, often rely on patronage, the spoils system, "behind-the-scenes" control, and longstanding political ties within the structure of representative democracy. Machines typically are organized on a permanent basis instead of a single election or event. The term usually has a pejorative sense, referring to corrupt political machines.[1]
One of the most infamous of these political machines was Tammany Hall, the Democratic Party machine that played a major role in controlling New York City.

A sedentary society is one that doesn't move around and is permanently settled in one place. When early humans began farming, they were able to produce enough food that they no longer had to migrate to their food source.
