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.

Need help with question 3 just want to ensure my answer is correct before continuing
Blababa [14]

B. -3

The value of a for given polynomial is -3

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<em>Factor theorem for polynomials,</em>

<u><em>If (x-c) is a factor of polynomial f(x), then f(c)=0</em></u>

Given: x+a is a factor of polynomial 4x^3-13x^2-ax

Let f(x) = 4x^3-13x^2-ax

By Factor theorem, since x+a is a factor of f(x),

(x+a)=[x-(-a)]\\So,\ f(-a)=0

Substituting x=-a in f(x)=0, we get

f(x) = 4x^3-13x^2-ax = 0\\f(-a)= [4(-a)^3]-[13(-a)^2]-[a(-a)] = 0\\(-4a^3-13a^2+a^2)=0\\(-4a^3-12a^2)=0\\-4a^3=12a^2\\\frac{a^3}{a^2} =\frac{12}{-4} \\\\a=(-3)

Therefore, value of a is (-3)

Did ibn battuta's travels influence other explorers?
Setler79 [48]

Abu Abdullah Muhammad, also known as Ibn Battuta was a Muslim scholar and traveler of Moroccan origin who undertook a series of travels and excursions during his life which are now a days called <em>the Rihla</em> (The Travels). Unlike the influence the travels of other explorers, such as Marco Polo had, Battuta's travels only had a very modest impact on the world until the 19th century. Despite not providing much influence to other explorers, Battuta's accounts of his travels provide a gateway to the civilizations of the muslim world during the age.
