Explanation:

One of the main reasons the US did not ratify the Kyoto Protocol was concerns over sovereignty - related to the potential constraints on its economic and energy - related policies that the treaty might impose. The Kyoto Protocol was an international agreement on climate change, and the US was reluctant to commit due to perceived limitations on its decision - making power.

The treaty threatened to limit the sovereignty of the United States.
