Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Senate has, at times, rejected treaties when its members felt their concerns were not adequately addressed. In 1919 the Senate rejected the Treaty of Versailles, which formally ended World War I, in part because President Woodrow Wilson had failed to take senators’ objections to the agreement into consideration.
Detailed explanation-2: -The U.S. Senate refused to ratify Wilson’s Treaty of Versailles because, among other reasons, Senators feared that U.S. involvement in the League of Nations would mean that American troops might be sent into Europe and settle European disputes. By the late summer of 1918, American troops had arrived in France.
