Answer:

A replacement of Adams's political loyalists with Jackson's political loyalists

Step-by-step explanation:

President Andrew Jackson invoked the rotation in federal office as a principle, he defended that “no one man has any more intrinsic right to office than another”. But the actual result of this policy was that he cleansed the federal civil service from John Quincy Adam’s appointees and replaced them for his own.

This rotation occurred in many places, including civil servants in the states and communities and land offices.
