The spoils system, characterized by the practice of appointing political supporters to government positions, led to widespread corruption and inefficiency in public service. In response, the modern civil service system emerged in the late 19th century, emphasizing merit-based hiring and promotion through standardized examinations and qualifications. This shift aimed to create a professional, impartial, and accountable workforce, ultimately enhancing the effectiveness and integrity of government operations. Today, civil service reforms continue to focus on transparency and fairness in public employment.
