Supporters of the spoils system claimed it made government more efficient because like-minded individuals cooperated. opponents claimed it made government less efficient because:
a. officials did little work
b. the followers of the loyal party didn't cooperate
c. many experienced officials left office after each election

The correct answer is C.

The spoils system is a political strategy performed by a political party when it arrives to power. It consists on placing supporters, friends and relatives, in civil service positions, as a reward for helping in the road towards victory. It is totally opposite to a merit-based system.

When a new party or president arrived to office, the turnover was very elevated. For example, when the presidency of Jackson started 919 officials were removed. Such a system could not continue operating, therefore a separation was established, and the political leaders could not appoint civil servants anymore.
