The Republican Henry Cabot Lodge and other Republicans refused to ratify the League of Nations because certain aspects of the new international organization were believed to interfere with American sovereignty in crafting foreign policy. Because of this they did not support the League of Nations. 

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