Politicians in the United States first received a salary with the passage of the Salary Act of 1789, which established compensation for members of Congress. Initially, representatives were paid $6 per day for their service, a sum meant to cover their expenses while in office. Over time, this practice evolved, leading to the establishment of fixed salaries for various political offices. Other countries have implemented similar systems at different times, reflecting the growing recognition of public service as a profession.
