The Spoils System, named for the adage "To the victors belong the Spoils", refers to a system that rewards those people who support a candidate during the election. For example, if I am rich and can contribute a huge sum to a candidate, I could be made a Cabinet member even if I have no knowledge or experience. It's a "you repay me by position" or a "you better scratch my back because I scratched yours" system.
