(B) the assassination of President James Garfield

Explanation:

The civil service reform was intended to ensure that positions in the federal government was given to people not on the basis of their political alliance with the ruling party, but based on the abilities of the individuals instead. The Republican Party, at first blocked this motion.

But after the assassination of President James Garfield by an individual who held delusions that the reason he wasn't chosen for a position in the federal government was because he did not have the 'right' political affliation, the party changed its position. This manifested in the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act, signed into law by Garfield's successor, President Chester A. Arthur.

what the first or next guy says

1) checks and balances- this idea is implemented in the constitution to ensure that no one branch of the federal government gains too much power. for example, the legislative branch(congress) can approve a bill that will then be sent to the executive branch (president). if the president does not like the bill or thinks that it violates the rights of citizens, he/she can veto the bill. vetoing the bill stops the bill from becoming a law. this check on power ensures that congress makes laws that do not violate the rights of citizens.

2) anti-federalists do not want to ratify the constitution unless it includes a bill of rights. the anti-federalists are worried that the constitution gives too much power to the federal government. having a strong central government caused problems when the us was still part of great britain. this is why the anti-federalists are fearful of this type of system.

3) federalists want a new constitution passed because it will fix america's weak political structure. before the us constitution is implemented, the constitution being used is known as the articles of confederation. this constitution has an extremely weak central government, allowing for disunity among the states.
