''Discuss Andrew Jackson as a precedent to one of the ways in which politics and policy making patterns are being established within the American Political Tradition.''
Any ideas on how to answer this question for my final extension?
I know for a fact that Andrew Jackson partook in the spoil system. This gave goverment positions to loyal followers, so many unqualified people held important positions. The you can discuss how this spoil system continued until it was reformed by Chester Arthur.
