Best Answer

The Pendleton Act required appointees to public office to take civil service exams. It was intended to promote appointment based on merit rather than connections or political ties. It was passed under President Arthur following the assassination of President Garfield by Charles Guiteau, a man who believed he had been cheated of a public office position.
