Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Pendleton Act, passed in 1883, was designed to reform the federal civil service system and reduce corruption by making it illegal to fire or demote government employees for political reasons and requiring government jobs to be awarded based on merit, rather than political affiliation. It was not focused on policing or removing government interference from policing.
