The correct description of the "Spoils System" that developed during Jackson's presidency is:
It was the policy of firing government workers from one political party and replacing them with friends and supporters instead.
During Jackson's presidency, the Spoils System was a practice where individuals from the winning political party would replace government workers from the opposing party with their own loyal supporters and friends. This system led to significant turnover in government positions based on political allegiance rather than merit or qualifications. It was a way for the incoming administration to reward its supporters and strengthen its political power by placing loyalists in key government roles. This practice had both advantages and disadvantages, as it ensured political loyalty but also led to inefficiency and corruption in government operations.
