Lodge's proposed Treaty of Versailles reservations affected which UN power?

  • General Assembly

  • Secretariat

  • Veto power

  • Trusteeship Council

Answer

The Treaty of Versailles reservations proposed by U.S. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge significantly impacted the veto power held by the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. These reservations sought to diminish the power of the League of Nations, the predecessor of the UN, by giving the United States the ability to override decisions without its express consent.
