You had to dig deep to find the answer: Garfield's assassination was instrumental to the passage of the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act on January 16, 1883. Garfield himself had called for civil service reform in his inaugural address and supported it as President in the belief that it would make government more efficient. It was passed as something of a memorial to the fallen President. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_James_A._Garfield
