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 invention was a major contributor to the end of the open range on the great plains
Alex73 [517]

One factor was barbed wire. As farmers and ranchers wisened up, they used the wire to fence in their cattle, destroying the use of cowboys, and taking away one aspect of the "wide open west".  Herds of cattle took over the plains and destroyed the grass. In 1883 the big drought struck and water streams dried up and prairie fires grazed. Also the barbed wire and the natural disasters.
