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.

In your opinion,do you think the system of the supreme court allows fair judgements to be made?
kumpel [21]
Not always,in my opinion. Sometimes people are forced into punishment far worse than their illegal acts. They could be held against law even though it wasn't them sometimes. Really depends where, when, who, and what. If murder or any drug related acts happen that was on purpose, then it's fair to punish the inmate.

2. Why did the South resent the Tariff of 1828? Indian Removal Act
Marysya12 [62]

The North was in favor of tariffs, while the South hated tariffs. This was because the North was focused on industrialization and the South was focused on agriculture.

A tariff is essentially a tax on foreign goods. It helped protect factories and businesses within the United States, as it made people want to buy from their own country since there was no foreign tax. This was <u>good for the North</u>, as more people were buying their products as opposed to them buying elsewhere. This was <u>not good for the South</u> though, as the South normally sold their goods overseas. This made their products look less desirable to foreign countries, as there was now a tax on them. The South also was buying a lot from overseas, but now it was more expensive.
