Answer:
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The piece of legislation that was signed by
President Chester A. Arthur with the intention
of preventing the use of federal jobs as political
rewards was that of the Pendleton Act
Before President Chester Arthur came into
power, it had been an ardent practice to
appoint close relatives and friends on the
posts in the federal jobs. The appointments
were not completely based on merit and
experience.
It was found by President Chester Arthur
that it was primarily necessary to pass and
implement an act that would cease the future
presidents from appointing unmeritorious
people on important posts in the federal jobs.
Hope this helped :)
