The Pendleton Act of 1883, also known as the Civil Service Act, aimed to reform the federal employment system by establishing a merit-based selection process for government jobs. It sought to reduce corruption and nepotism in federal hiring practices, which were prevalent under the patronage system. By implementing competitive exams and protecting certain government positions from political influence, the Act laid the foundation for the modern civil service system in the United States.
