The answer is A. At the conclusion of the Great War, the Senate rejected the treaty mainly because it did not want to join the League of Nations. The body, headed by Henry Cabot Lodge, believed it would force its participation in issues that did not have anything to do with the country. The Knox-Porter Resolution was passed by the Congress in 1921 in lieu of the Treaty of Versailles.
