Question 4 • US History

Which best defines the term spoils system ?

Answer
A
a system that allowed the winning political party to give jobs to supporters
B
a system that implemented the renewal of a charter for a national bank
C
a system that forced Indigenous peoples to relocate to Oklahoma Territory
D
a system of federal tariffs on goods imported from foreign nations

Explanation

The spoils system was the practice of giving government jobs to political supporters after a party won an election. So choice A, “a system that allowed the winning political party to give jobs to supporters,” is the best definition. The other choices describe bank policy, forced relocation, and tariffs, not the spoils system.
