Answer 1

C. They feared that it could lead the United States into war without the consent of Congress.Article 10 of the Treaty of Versailles created the League of Nations and included a provision obligating members to defend each other against external aggression. Reservationists, led by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, worried that this commitment would infringe upon Congress's constitutional power to declare war. They feared the U.S. could be drawn into European conflicts by the League without Congressional approval.
