Answer: Congress did not want to lose the ability to appoint friends and political supporters to key positions in the government

Explanation:

In the 19th century there existed a "Spoils system" in the United States where the winners of the election would appoint friends and political supporters to key government jobs to thank them for their support.

This meant that there were key posts that were not going to people of merit but rather people who simply knew those in power. There were calls to make this illegal but successive Congresses did not do so because they enjoyed being able to put their friends and supporters in power.

What social stigma does society need to get over?
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

In the US, people need to stop lying to each other in the name of being polite or accepting. It has fostered a society that believes it is entitled to anything, and is far too easily offended. This in turn makes it unreceptive to even constructive criticism, thereby becoming a breeding ground for other problems.

Sergio [31]
The correct answer is common.

Most people in the United States of America support suicide. Almost two-thirds of the country of all American citizens supports suicide as an escape route from pain and agony. Yet, suicide remains as a bad idea to combat pain, which is why it is still opposed by many individuals, especially the Catholic Church.
