Which of the following was not created through the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978?
  1. United States Civil Service Commission
  2. United State Merit Systems Protection Board
  3. Federal Labor Relations Authority
  4. United States Office of Personnel Management
Explanation
Answer: A - The Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 did not create, but instead terminated, the U.S. Civil Service Commission. The Civil Service Commission was created in 1883 to end the spoils system, a social practice that enabled unqualified people to receive government jobs through political patronage. While ending the spoils system was beneficial, the Civil Service Commission also made it difficult to fire civil servants, even if their job performance warranted termination.
