Why did the Republican Henry Cabot Lodge refuse to ratify the League of Nations?

Sagot :

lewisbarker2002
Henry Cabot Lodge was one of the best informed statesmen of his time, he was an excellent parliamentarian, and he brought to bear on foreign questions a mind that was at once razor sharp and devoid of much of the moral cant that was so typical of the age....[Yet] Lodge never made the contributions he should have made, largely because of Lodge the person. He was opportunistic, selfish, jealous, condescending, supercilious, and could never resist calling his opponent's spade a dirty shovel. Small wonder that except for Roosevelt and Root, most of his colleagues of both parties disliked him, and many distrusted him

Answer:

A. Lodge believed Article 10 of the covenant infringed on the United States' power to declare war, if necessary, and expand its territories.
