Answer 1

The correct response is: Wilson liked it, but it never passed in the Senate.

President Woodrow Wilson was a strong advocate for the League of Nations and played a crucial role in its creation. However, when he presented the Treaty of Versailles, which included the covenant for the League, to the Senate for ratification, it faced significant opposition from some senators. Despite Wilson's support, the treaty ultimately failed to gain the necessary votes for ratification in the Senate, which meant that the United States did not join the League of Nations.
