ensuring that the government officals would agree with his policies
this system is also know as cronyism, gave important jobs to loyal democratic party
Andrew Jackson was criticized for replacing most of the people that had worked for the past administration with his own men. I suspect that previous presidents did the same thing but perhaps to a lesser extent . Jackson had fewer ties with the previous administration than did the presidents before him.

Jacksons Opponents Charged That The Practice Was Corrupt.
mhm, yes, yeah, yeee, duh, indeed, certainly... he did. **IMPROVED** Technically, yes, he did. Jackson claimed putting new people into government jobs furthered democracy. One of his supporters put it more selfishly when he compared the process to a conquering army right after a war. This was when the term "spoils system" was born.
Andrew Jackson is noted for introducing the spoils system in the US. He replaced all of the government employees with his supporters. He believed that anyone of normal intelligence could do a government job as well as anyone else.
