The Senate refused to ratify the treaty of Versailles primarily because they objected to the League of Nations. If the US joined the League, then they would be obligated to fight in future wars and the Senate didn't want that.

Answer:  They did not want the US to be obligated to fight in future wars.

Details:

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.

The Republicans in the Senate feared the treaty could commit the US to future wars that were not directly related to US national security, because of the commitment the treaty made to the formation of a League of Nations.

The United States never joined the League of Nations, in spite of the fact that 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.

Answer:

The economy plummeted sharply in 1973

Explanation:

The economy actually grew in 1973 by 5.65%, but then it fell sharply, and fell byn -0.5 in 1974.

The reason for this drop was the 1973 oil crisis, after several Oil-exporting Arab Nations, launched an embargo against countries that had supported Israel in the Yom Kippur War, among these, the United States.

This embargo was very negative for the American economy, because the United States depended on these Arab Nations for its oil supply. Oil became scarce, which made energy, fuel, gasoline, and so on, more expensive. This naturally depressed economic activity because producing goods or services was now more expensive, or even impossible.
