The patronage system, also known as the spoils system, was designed to tie the administration more closely to the people it served by allowing the president to appoint loyal supporters to government positions as a reward for their service during the election. This helped to ensure that the president had supporters in key positions and could implement his policies more effectively. The system did not prioritize merit-based appointees or increase congressional or judicial control over the bureaucracy. Providing jobs to lawyers was not the main goal of the patronage system.
