The League of Nations was an entity that was supposed to bring about peace that would reign supreme across the entire globe. The world had experienced enough horrors during World War I and the entire population decided that it had had enough of the atrocities of war. Woodrow Wilson had devised a brilliant plan, entitled his 14 Point Plan, to keep peace in the world. These 14 Points entailed the removal of secret treaties, a removal of economic barriers, reduction of armament burdens, adjustment of colonies, and freedom of the seas. In theory, the plan was foolproof as long as the entire world was behind it. If every country backed the League, it would have enough power to effectively settle any international dispute. This turned out to not be the case, however, as the world did not fully support the League of Nations. The American people should be held most responsible for the failure of the League of Nations. Wilson went to France to participate in the drafting of the Treaty of Versailles, a move that was considered controversial at the time and went against precedent. The Big Four (France, Italy, the United States, and Great Britain) eventually settled on creating the League of Nations, along with several other terms to the treaty. Wilson entered the US into the League of Nations, a move that he was not authorized to make. According to the Constitution, the Senate must approve any foreign treaties, which the Treaty of Versailles was. Seeing as how the League of Nations was a part of the Treaty of Versailles, the Senate would have to ratify the Treaty of Versailles to take part in the League. Wilson campaigned vigorously to the American people, but the Senate rejected the Treaty. Because senators were now directly elected rather than put into office by state legislature, the blame can fall on the American people. If American citizens would've voted senators that were responsible to them, the League of Nations would've succeeded with the support of one of the strongest nations in the world.
