The Spoils System was first used by president Andrew Jackson. This system was pretty simple; when someone (ex: a senator) would run for an office position (ex: the presidency) and would win, he would use his new powers (as president) to give his big supporters positions (such as the presidential cabinet). This did two main things: it gave others incentive to also support that person, and it ensured that the person (president) was only surrounded by people who agreed with that person's viewpoints - thus, making it easy for the person (president) to accomplish his or her agenda (and pass or veto whatever bills he/she wanted to). Due to the use of this system, many new U.S Presidents were able to mold the country into the shape that he wanted much more easily; however, whether it was good or bad is more of a subjective (opinionated) question. It's up to you to decide that.

Why do you have politics?
Unimproved: People have no choice but to 'have politics'. Consider the notion of no politics in a nation such as the US. You must understand that politics does not refer to government. Politics is what the government debate. Politics is the economy, international relations, education, healthcare, marriage, housing, the law, war, everything. We have politics because the world we live in requires it. Political thought must have entered the world in a time where there was no control. People were doing whatever they pleased. I'm not saying politics is about control. It is about stability and a system that affects the lives of everybody. If we didn't have political parties debating over political issues we would never have a clear judgment of a situation. In theory, politicians are the people's employees. We need those people to ensure that our lives run smoothly. Without politics a person can come to your house, burgle it, kill whoever they pleased, walk a mile and do the same thing again, with no sanction or force to stop them. I hope this answer helps. That is a very philosophical question. Improved 10272010: "Father of politics after sex abuse is abuse of marital status as evidence of paternity to deny paternal duties to their babies as Equal Justice for All that is infecting all systems of Justice." Justice Autopsy (C). This is the real answer to the real question of man's choice to sell his evil system as his good system of Justice that makes people do whatever they please to do. If this improved answer fails to help people outlaw politics as hurt, KEKSI asks that people please reveal and correct the error to improve it to make it correct. Thanks. KEKSI. 09/15/2014 Politics is not the same as Law, and theoretically you don't need Politics to have a Lawful society. Under Law (English Common Law, American Common Law, Sharia Law, to name a few) crimes like theft, assault, and murder are still unlawful. Under Common Law there is the County Sheriff, and he and his deputies maintain the peace, apprehend suspected perpetrators, convene a jury court, and if the defendant is found guilty, he is sentenced. This all happens without Politics. Essential freedoms and protections exist under Law, without Politics. Marijuana would be lawful under Common Law. Politics on the other hand, in democracies, is basically the struggle of majority rule. Marijuana politics and gay marriage politics are good examples. Illegal yesterday, legal today in some areas, legal everywhere tomorrow (?) It's a constant struggle, with different factions trying to gain a political advantage. But the world of Law is comparatively stable and unchanging. Law can exist without Politics.
Are politics inherently bad?
The way politics,today plays out and the politicians behave, it seems that politics is inherently bad.But can the society not be worse without politics?Yes,it will be.Our civilisation has not yet evolved to a stage where policiations and politics can be discarted.Politicians are the necessary evil.Instead of discarding the science of politics,it has to be reformed.Political reform has to be brought about on the pattern of other reforms. Improvements in the political system need to be brought on two fronts.One by enacting laws and strengthening judicial system,and other by building up character of politicians.Of course,much headway has been achieved on legal reformation,but nothing concrete has been done on character-building.There has been constant deterioration in character of politicians over a period of time.Concentration of immense power at the hands of politicians,has made them autocratic.It gives them leeway to do whatever they want to do.Quite recently, growing cases of arbitrariness,corrupt practices,discriminatory treatments at the hands of those in political power has risen by leaps and bound giving bad name to politics and politics.What politicians lack badly today,is character, Character has to be built up.

What is cryonyism?
Cronyism is a kind of favoritism where those with power appoint friends, or "cronies", to other positions of power. It is thus a system where success in politics depends much on who you know. In economics, crony capitalism is the same, where getting rich depends more on who you know than on being good at your job.

Is the spoils system a good idea in today's America?
The spoils system is a system when the elected appoints his friends to offices based on their support, not skill. Does that sound like a good idea? The only way i could argue this to be a good idea is if you take into account that like-minded government officials are more likely to accomplish change as compared to battling political minds (But then again, the Democrats certainly have failed despite controlling presidency and Congress from '08-'10) Source: My mind
