The Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act (1)

The Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act is an 1883 United States federal law that established the United States Civil Service Commission, which placed most federal employees on the merit system and marked the end of the so-called «spoils system». The act provided for some government jobs to be filled on the basis of competitive exams. Drafted during the Chester A.Arthur administration, the Pendleton Act served as a response to President James Garfield's assassination by a disappointed office seeker. The Act was passed into law on January 16, 1883. The Act was sponsored by Senator George H. Pendleton, Democrat of Ohio, and written by Dorman Bridgeman Eaton, a staunch opponent of the patronage system who was later first chairman of the United States Civil Service Commission. The most famous commissioner was Teddy Roosevelt (1889-96).
