Answer:
The Pendleton emerged as a political reaction against the spoils system that was predominant in America at the time.
Explanation:
In the spoils system, government officials were not appointed based on merit, but based on political patronage, that is to say, government officials were appointed in exchange for political support, both ideological and financial.
The spoils system reached a height during the presidency of Andrew Jackson, and this created tensions in the political class.
For this reason, Congress adopted the Pendleton Act in 1883. This act determined that civil servants should be appointed based on merit. It even led to the creation of entry-exams for government officials. Finally, it also prohibited the demotion of government officials because of political reasons.

<em>The correct answer is A. People have the right to overthrow a government that violates their rights
.</em>
John Locke developed the concept of natural law and stated in his book "Two treatises of government", that under natural law, all people have the right to life, liberty and heritage and contributed to the concept of Social Contract addressed by several enlightened thinkers, that under the "Social Contract" people could instigate a revolution against the government when it acted against the interests of the citizens, to replace the government with one that served the interests of the citizens. Locke considered that the citizen has the right to the revolution and that in certain circumstances, he has the obligation to exercise it to safeguard the people against tyranny.
While Locke believed it correct that the government was represented by a constitutional monarchy, ie a monarch supported by a parliament, he was against all absolute monarchy and conceptually did not give the monarch the place to care for a people without sanity but rather gave the State the priority of protecting the citizen against injustice. He said that injustices are what alter the natural state of tolerance and good judgment of citizens sometimes leading him to act with justice by their own hand and it is the State that must guarantee the right to life, property and freedom, to maintain the social order and give rise to the prosperity and happiness of individuals.
Locke was the son of Puritan Protestants and at the time of the Glorious Revolution he was living in the Netherlands and certainly supported this revolution.
