The most significant criticism of the Treaty of Versailles, particularly from the United States' perspective, was that Article 10 of the League of Nations Covenant seemed to limit America's sovereignty by potentially obligating the U.S. to participate in military actions without the explicit consent of Congress, thereby infringing on Congress's constitutional power to declare war.
