patronage system  

Définition(s)

  • A PATRONAGE SYSTEM, or a system that selects public officials on a political basis, rather than job-related factors, was present through much of the 18th century, until politicians and citizens realized the negative consequences it produced. In this system, office winners were allowed to place their political allies and those who supported them in a political campaign into government positions, often producing chaos as supporters of the previous administration were ousted. [Source: Encyclopedia of U.S. Campaigns, Elections, and Electoral Behavior; Patronage System]
