the spoil system was the practice of giving government jobs to political backers. it gave voters the job of the cabinet. during the Jacksonian era they were called the kitchen cabinet because they met in the kitchen sometimes(no joke i took this out of a textbook). i do not think it was acceptable because they might have given jobs to the non educated or gave the wrong job to the wrong person.
Andrew Jackson used the spoils system. While presidents before him chose the best people for their cabinet, Jackson chose the people who helped him win the election. This unofficial group of advisors were called the "Kitchen Cabinet". The spoils system was the practice of rewarding political supporters with government jobs.

no- not at all- in fact, rather the reverse. You might say the Jackson created the spoils system or at least exploited it to the fullest possible extent.
yes because he was angered by the corrupt bargain causing him to be malignant towards republicans in the cabinet thus he established his spoils system which was ultimately irrelevant seeing as he had his "kitchen cabinet" which went against his democratic ideals.
The so-called Kitchen Cabinet was not a system. It was a name given to the informal advisers of President Andrew Jackson by his critics. It was said that he relied on these adviser more than he did his official cabinet.

The spoils system.
The Spoils System, named for the adage "To the victors belong the Spoils", refers to a system that rewards those people who support a candidate during the election. For example, if I am rich and can contribute a huge sum to a candidate, I could be made a Cabinet member even if I have no knowledge or experience. It's a "you repay me by position" or a "you better scratch my back because I scratched yours" system.
the spoils system began in 1828
