How was the rise of the civil service related to President Garfields assassination?
The rise of the civil service in the United States was closely tied to President Garfield's assassination in 1881, which was motivated by the patronage system that allowed for political appointments based on connections rather than merit. Garfield's death highlighted the dangers of this system, as his assassin, Charles Guiteau, believed he deserved a political appointment. In response to the public outcry over the assassination, Congress passed the Pendleton Act in 1883, which established a merit-based system for federal employment and marked the beginning of the modern civil service. This shift aimed to reduce corruption and ensure that government positions were filled by qualified individuals.
