Question

Why did some political reformers want to create a civil service system?

to prevent assassinations from lowering the reputation of the presidency
to ensure that federal contracts were awarded to loyal party workers
to prevent political parties from organizing their supporters
to make sure government workers had the necessary expertise

Answer 1

to make sure government workers had the necessary expertise

Step-by-step explanation:

The Civil Service System is a civilian workforce of the US federal government’s departments and agencies. The Civil Service System was created because during the Gilded Age governments would appoint people with no expertise to government departments and agencies just to gain political support. The Civil Service System would avoid that.
