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.

Lena [83]
The three major Islamic Empires: Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal all dealt with religious minorities as they were conquering empires during the 1400 and 1500s. In the Ottoman Empire there were Jews and Christians present both of which were offered religious toleration but were often taxed higher and limited in their rights to certain careers in particular the military. In the Safavid Empire, the biggest issue was between Shi'a and Sunni Muslim factions. The Safavid were Shi'a and generally a minority between the two groups in the empires' conquered areas. The Safavid Empire also practice religious toleration of other faiths in particular Hindus and Buddhists in the far eastern reaches of their empire. Lastly, the Mughals who conquered a dominantly Hindu India were incredibly tolerant as they were vastly outnumbered. Again Hindus were limited in job opportunities but were allowed to continue practice. Eventually there will be a blending of faiths to occur in this empire as Hinduism, Islam, and even Buddhism find ways to exist together.

Aristotle's theory of a person's "function" said that ____.
gtnhenbr [62]

I believe the answer is: great personal fulfilment is achieved when a person is given the freedom to pursue that person's dreams.

According to Aristotle, every individuals that is born in this world had to pursue each of their own self's actualization, which is a situation where we felt that we truly use our full potential/capabilities. This could only be achieved if we let those individuals pursue the things that they care about and not restrict them with societal expectation that is not suitable with their talent.
