How did the Hatch Act reinforce reforms initiated under the Pendleton Act? When were these acts passed, and what events precipitated them?

What will be an ideal response?

An ideal response will:
1, Explain that the Pendleton Act was passed in 1883, initiating the process of replacing the spoils system, in which federal employees were hired on the basis of party loyalty, with a merit system, whereby employees were hired on the basis of merit.
2, Note that elimination of the spoils system was gradual rather than immediate and that concerns remained about the federal bureaucracy becoming a political tool of the party in power.
3, Explain that the Hatch Act, passed in 1939, further restricted political influence on the bureaucracy by preventing federal employees from engaging in political activities, such as campaigning, fundraising, or contributing money to partisan causes.
4, Mention the assassination of James Garfield as precipitating the Pendleton Act, and the expansion of federal bureaucracy under the New Deal precipitating the Hatch Act.
