grant the president the power to annex new territory
previous next

Explanation:

After World War I, many U.S. senators were isolationist. The League of Nations' covenant (especially Article 10 which called for members to protect each other's territorial integrity) made them fear the U.S. would be dragged into foreign conflicts. There was no indication membership would endanger economic growth (the U.S. was economically strong post - WWI), no clause about giving up colonies (the U.S. had few compared to European powers), and no power - granting to the President regarding annexation in League of Nations' terms.

Answer:

B. involve the United States in future foreign conflicts
