Question 1 • EAP-Virginia and US History A CR

What impact did the spoils system have on American government?

Answer
A
The spoils system was debated long after Jackson’s presidency had ended.
B
The spoils system had little effect because Jackson did not implement it.
C
The spoils system was eventually written into the US Constitution.
D
The spoils system made it easier for future presidents to veto legislation.

Explanation

The spoils system gave government jobs to a president’s political supporters, and it remained a subject of debate well after Andrew Jackson’s presidency. Jackson did implement the practice, so B is incorrect. It was never written into the Constitution, and it did not make presidential vetoes easier.
