Question

What did the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act accomplish

Answer 1

It established that positions in the federal government should be awarded on the basis of merit instead of political affiliation.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Two years after the assassination of President James A. Garfield, in January 1883 congress passed the Pendleton Act. It elicited the idea that all Federal job positions must be awarded on the basis of merit and that Government deputies must be selected through competitive exams. The very same law also didn't allow to request employees to give political service nor contributions. In order to enforce this act. The Civil Service Commission was established.
