President Andrew Jackson set the precedence of awarding jobs to supporters after electoral victory in 1828. This was a clear departure from past practice of transparency.
Senator William I Marcy supported Andrew Jackson's replacement of John Quincy Adam's appointees by referring to the idea that "to the victor belong the spoils of the enemy." So, in a sense, Jackson created the "spoils system" of political patronage.

No, the spoils system was based around corruption. In general there wasn't much anyone could do to reduce corruption, it was a corrupt government.
