Answer:

The correct answer is "Under early American presidents, civil service employees were C. Generally appointed based on political connections.

Explanation:

The political system in the US operated on the "Spoils system" until the passing of the Pendleton Act in 1883 after a civil service reform movement. According to this system, a political party could give civil service jobs to supporters, relatives or other people with political connections once they won the elections. The name comes from the expression "to the victor belong the spoils"

After the passing of the Pendleton Act, meassures were taken to install a system of merits and not political connections.

Identify and explain the three main issues that arose during the debates at the Constitutional Convention.
aniked [119]

The three main issues that arose at the debates during the Constitutional Convention include: slavery, Congressional Representation (in favor of big or small states), and the new Executive branch.

Smaller states and larger states debated over representation in Congress and put forth the New Jersey plan (in favor of smaller states) and the Virginia plan (in favor of smaller states). States debated whether representation should be decided by state wealth, size, and/or population. Also debated was the issue of slavery. Many southern state economies depended on slaves and slave labor, yet many northern states asserted that slavery was unconstitutional and/or immoral. States also debated on the amount of power that should be given to the executive branch, the length of presidential terms, and how the president would be elected.
