Question

The Civil Service Act and the systems it made possible are all products of the twentieth century. Group of answer choices True False

Answer 1

The statement is: False.

Step-by-step explanation:

The United States Pendleton Civil Service Act, effective from 1883, is legislation that established fair practices while employing individuals. The Act was named after Senator George H. Pendleton (1825-1889) states that employers must provide applicants job positions based on their merit instead of their political party affiliation.

Thus, the Civil Service Act was enacted in the 19th century, not the 20th.
