One of the reasons of the failure is because it had failed to prevent the Second World War to occur. The purpose of the treaty itself was to stop another big war to exist again on this earth, yet it had unsuccessfully done so. The war still happened and the destruction of it was even larger and more serious than in WWI and other war in history of humankind due to the fact that the technology is increasing, and thus the weapons using are more powerful than ever, for instance, aircrafts, tanks, machine guns, and especially the use of nuclear bombs in Japan to end the war. Consequently, it resulted in dead of 75 million people including 20 million soldiers and 40 million civilians.
Furthermore, the cause of failure of the treaty was because it was lack of the enforcement mechanism and lack of willingness of the allied powers. Many terms stipulated in the treaty were not implemented. For example, the 14 points of President Woodrow Wilson including “1) no more secret treaties, 2) countries must seek to reduce their weapons and their armed forces, 3) national self-determination should allow people of the same nationality to govern themselves and one nationality should not have the power to govern another , 4) all countries should belong to the League of Nations,” and an intention of France in dividing Germany into smaller states did not occur, and thus it just caused the treaty to become weak; as a result, Germany could take the advantages of it.
The reapportionment Act of 1929 was passed because membership in the house needed to be capped to prevent an excessive number of members.
On June 11, 1929, the House of Representatives passed the apportionment ACT which adjusted the number of representative as 435. The constitution of the United States called for at least one representative per state and that no more than one representatives for 30,000 persons. The size of state house delegation of a state will consequently relied on its population.
However, the founders were confused as to how large future congress should be after each federal census. The founders were also confused as to the method to be used to reapportion the house.
This uncertainty disturbed the congress as the United States territories widened and its population increased.
Normally, the House of Representatives reapportion itself in a way that didn’t affect the representation of most states. However, the method of calculating apportionment really affected the rural states by losing their representation to larger urbanized states.
Following 1920 census, the house was not able to apportion itself because of a battle that broke out among the rural and urban factions. On June 18, 1929, the house passed the permanent apportionment, which capped house membership after 1910 census. The act created a procedure whereby house seat were automatically apportioned after every decennial census.
