Answer:

The correct answer is B) a system that allowed the winning political party to give jobs to supporters

Explanation:

A spoils system is where a winning political party or candidate gives favor to their supports by giving them key positions or jobs in the government. For, generations this was common practice in the United States.

However, things began to change in the 19th Century as the people protested and asked more for transparency.

By the mid-20th Century, there was a clear difference between politics and civil service jobs.

However, many believe the practice still remains today. A recent example was Trump giving key White House positions to supports like Brietbart co-founder Steve Bannon.

In countries like India and Bangladesh, this is still common place.

<u>The U.S. policy of containment, was a policy that used many techniques to stop the spread of communism. This was an effect of the cold war, and it was used against the Soviet Union.    </u>

THE U.S. SUPPORTED THIS PRACTICE BY:

<em>Wanting to stop the spread of communism, and having the Soviet Union gain more power.</em>

THE U.S. TOOK ACTION BY:

<em>-Containing communism, so that it's influence would not affect other countries. This lead to the creation of NATO which was to include itself in the border states of the world and prevent them from turning communist.</em>

<em>-The policy was adopted by President Harry Truman. This was also part of the "free the people movement." From any outside pressure, or influence.</em>

<em>-The United States agreed to help both countries to avoid the possibility that the Soviet Union would lead them to communism. ( Greece and Turkey) and they paired with them. </em>

What did traveling on streetcars mean for many young people?
pshichka [43]

I do not think that the answer is A) because just because they are driving a type of car does not mean that They had less contact with other people their own age. I I do not think that the answer is B) because  just because they are driving a type of car does not mean that They could get to know each other without supervision. But It is C) I think because they are richer so They spent less time in the city, but D) is not correct I don't think because they must of had a lot of money to by a street car, and they would probably not spend a lot of money on a street car, and give up leisure activities.

So the answer is C)

Hope I helped.
