I don't know who you think the people are who go into government and who take part in the political system are, but they are "ordinary " people. The only difference between them and anyone else is they have chosen to work in government. Anyone of us could do it.

The Pendleton Act of 1883 significantly reduced the spoils system and patronage in the federal government by establishing a merit-based civil service system. This meant that government positions would no longer be distributed based on political affiliation but rather on qualifications and performance. The act aimed to combat corruption and ensure a more efficient and professional bureaucracy.
