One of the responses is: Government officials needed to be well-qualified for their job.

This underscores the importance of meritocracy in civil service positions. By preventing positions from being passed down within families, it ensures that individuals are selected based on their qualifications and competence rather than their familial connections. This helps to ensure that government officials have the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively carry out their duties and responsibilities.
