_____________ is a hiring and promotion system based on knowing the right people, working in an election campaign, making large political donations, and/or having the right connections to win jobs with the government.
The correct answer to the following answer will be "The patronage system".
Explanation:
The patronage system will be where the party with the most votes gives one a federal job because they're a friend/member of the family as well as associate, whereas the system of competence is where it gives jobs based on qualifications: their understanding or experience of policy and where they will benefit the government.
This is indeed a recruiting and recruitment mechanism that is focused on hiring the right candidates, participating in an electoral campaign, making significant political contributions or getting the correct contacts to win jobs.
