Detailed explanation-1: -The Senate has, at times, rejected treaties when its members felt their concerns were not adequately addressed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Many Americans opposed the Treaty of Versailles because of the Covenant of the League of Nations, which sought to establish and international governing organization in hopes of preventing future wars.
