(1 point)

lodge believed that president wilson had a duty to enforce his foreign policy on the international community.
lodge argued that the treaty would interfere with president wilsons policy goals.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Article X of the Treaty of Versailles related to the League of Nations. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge was a prominent opponent of the League of Nations. He was concerned that Article X, which called for members to respect and preserve the territorial integrity of other members, would draw the United States into extensive foreign affairs and conflicts. He was a proponent of a more isolationist stance for the US. The other options are incorrect. Lodge did not focus on revenge against Germany (the Treaty of Versailles already had punitive measures against Germany). He was against Wilson's League of Nations plan (so he wouldn't believe Wilson had a duty to enforce his policy on the international community through it). And the treaty was Wilson's plan - Lodge was against the treaty (including Article X) itself, not that it interfered with Wilson's goals (it was Wilson's goal).

Answer:

Lodge feared that the League of Nations would result in extensive American intervention in foreign affairs.
