Cevap

FalseThe "spoils system" was a practice where government positions were filled based on political loyalty and party affiliation, rather than merit or qualifications. It often involved appointing supporters of the winning political party to public office as a reward for their support during elections. This system was in contrast to hiring trained civil servants based on merit.
