c. He wanted the United States to make independent decisions.
Lodge opposed the treaty mainly because he feared the League of Nations—especially Article X—would oblige the U.S. to act in ways that would override Congress’s constitutional power to declare war. He proposed reservations to preserve U.S. sovereignty rather than rejecting international engagement outright.
