History

Answer: a. The Senate feared that the treaty would take away their constitutional right to declare war.

Explanation:

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.

The correct answer is A: <em>The Senate feared that the treaty would take away their constitutional right to declare war.</em>

The Treaty of Versailles was a formal peace treaty between the World War I Allies (Britain, France, Italy, and the United States) and Germany their enemy during the war.  The then-majority leader of Senate, Henry Cabot Lodge, a Republican who came from Massachusetts, rejected the treaty, especially on the section about the League of Nations the primary reason being the fear that this would take their constitutional right to declare war. His reasons were that the U.s. would lose its power to the League of Nations.

The Treaty of Versailles became the formal peace treaty that ended World War I between the Allies and Germany.

What did dred scott base his claim freedom on?
djverab [1.8K]

Good afternoon!

Answer: Slavery was a point of contention in the United States since the country's founding. The disagreement intensified as the 1800s began. In 1820, the Missouri Compromise established a boundary that wouldn't allow new slave states above this line. Dred Scott had been taken by his owner to an area in which slavery had been made illegal because of the Missouri Compromise.

Have a great day!
