Explain the impact of andrew Jackson's election on the spoil system?

1 answer:

8 0

Andrew Jackson was not the first president to reward those who had worked the campaign for him. However, most of these "rewards" were done in moderation. After Jackson came into power, over 900 positions (roughly 10%) were taken away from people and given to his workers. In 1883 the Pendleton Act was put into effect to curb such rewards.
