The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although you forgot to include the options of the question, we can answer the following.

The Pendleton Civil Service Act provided a disconnection from "grafting" by awarding government jobs through Patronage to political bosses.

Before the enactment of the Pendleton Civil Service Act, many jobs in the government were granted to political campaign supporters, party members, or friends of the winning candidate.

So US President Chester A. Arthur signed the act into law on January 16. 1883. From then on, the act required that all positions opened in the federal government should be to the people that nad the best professional merits, capacity, and experience. Not like before, due to political patronage, to friends or supporters.

Maurinko [17]

James K Polk is one of the historical figures that is really hard to judge by modern standards.

He was a forceful man with strongly held beliefs. He was the last in the line of "Jacksonian Presidents" with all of the baggage that came along with that.

Ultimately, he was a strong war time President. His single term in office led to the short lived Presidency of Zachary Taylor, who was significantly less informed and forceful than Polk. After Polk, the issue of slavery really came to the forefront. Polk was either responsible for delaying the prominence of this issue or just got lucky. It is likely that history would look much differently if Polk had a second term and continued his aggressive posture towards America's future.

I'd say he was a good President, for his time, who strongly acted on the economy and in regards to Mexico but whose record looks abysmal by modern standards and values.

What effect did Israel’s division have on its survival? Which cultures conquered Israel?
elixir [45]

Part 1:

The stresses that were in the Jewish kingdom became apparent even throughout the continuance of King Solomon.

The Jewish people, by nature, are very challenging to consolidate. They are strongly individualistic and independent-minded. The alliance that was throughout the reigns of Kings Saul, David and Solomon were not unnatural, but it depended upon the importance of the leader’s character. Common leaders are incompetent at keeping the Jewish people unitedly. Regrettably, the Sauls, Davids, and Solomons of the world are limited. That is why most of the time the Jewish people do not find themselves consolidated.

____________________________________________________________

Part 2:

The Kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Neo-Assyrian Empire (circa 722 BCE), and the Kingdom of Judah by the Neo-Babylonian Empire (586 BCE). In the fall of the Babylonian Empire by the Achaemenid Empire following Cyrus the Great (538 BCE), the Jewish aristocracy turned to Jerusalem, and the Second Temple was constructed.
