Answer: The US Senate rejected the Treaty of Versailles (which included commitment to the League of Nations), fearing it would compromise US sovereignty and could obligate the US to fight in future wars.

Details:

An organization such as the League of Nations was the signature idea of US President Woodrow Wilson.  He had laid out 14 Points for establishing and maintaining world peace following the Great War (World War I).  Point #14 was the establishment of an international peacekeeping association.

The Treaty of Versailles adopted that idea, but back home in the United States, there was not support for involving America in any association that could diminish US sovereignty over its own affairs or involve the US again in wars beyond those pertinent to the United States' own national security. Because of its objections to membership in the League of Nations, the United States Senate refused to ratify the Treaty of Versailles.

The majority leader of Senate, Henry Cabot Lodge, argued that the commitment to the League of Nations (a part of the Treaty of Versailles) could take away US Congress' constitutional right to declare war and obligate them to military actions initiated by the League of Nations.

ella [17]

The Correct answer is "D".

John Cage is known for introducing the concept of a "prepared piano". Which consists of placing different objects o or between the strings in order to alter the original sound caused by them and create new sounds. He first applied this while writing the music for the dance "Bacchanale", in 1938. Cage believed that it was possible to "place in the hands of a single musician the equivalent of an entire percussion orchestra".
