Brief Explanations

Political machines relied heavily on the patronage system (also known as the spoils system) to maintain power. Under this system, government jobs, contracts, and favors were given to loyal supporters and immigrants in exchange for their votes and political backing, which directly sustained Tweed's corrupt political influence.
