The most accurate option regarding President Wilson's contribution to the failure of the Treaty of Versailles to pass in the Senate is:
**He refused to compromise on his idea for the League of Nations.**
Wilson’s refusal to accept any changes to the treaty, particularly regarding the League of Nations, alienated many Senators who might have supported it with some modifications. His idealistic vision clashed with the more pragmatic perspectives of many senators, particularly Republicans led by Henry Cabot Lodge, which contributed to the treaty's defeat.
