Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Civil Service Act of 1883 did not cause iron triangles to disappear. Iron triangles continued to exist and exert influence in the government even after the passage of the act. The act did, however, establish a merit-based system for hiring government officials, which aimed to reduce the influence of patronage and political machines in government appointments.
