Historical story

Who would you give a job to under the spoils system?

The spoils system, also known as the patronage system, is a political system in which government jobs are awarded to political supporters, rewarding them for their support. This system often leads to corruption and inefficiency in the government, as political loyalty is prioritized over merit and competence.

I would not choose to use the spoils system to hire anyone for a government job. Instead, I would base hiring decisions on merit, competence, and qualifications. This would ensure that the most qualified people are hired for government positions, and that the government is run efficiently and effectively.
