 Bates Treaty
Known as the Bates Treaty, it was the first step towards the dissolution of Moro (Muslim population of the southern Philippines) sovereignty and the dismantling of the Sulu Sultanate.
In addition, under this treaty the Sultan and his datus (tribal chiefs) were to receive monthly payments in return for flying the American flag and for allowing the U.S. the right to occupy lands on the islands.
Article IX of the treaty refers to the "government of the sultan." More importantly, the new agreement was meant to put an end to the existing parallel government of the sultan; the sultan continued to rule as before exercising his powers in all aspects of Moro life, collecting taxes, and trying civil and criminal cases.

 WHETHER URUGUAY ROUND AGREEMENTS REQUIRED RATIFICATION AS A TREATY
In 1880, the House asserted that the negotiation of a commercial treaty that fixed duties on foreign imports would be an unconstitutional invasion of its prerogatives over the origination of revenues; in 1883, it demanded, in connection with a proposed commercial treaty with Mexico, to have a voice in treaties affecting revenue.
On that assumption, the existence of a mutual defense treaty between the United States and an ally, duly ratified by the Senate, would be legally insufficient, in the absence of further bicameral action by Congress, to justify engagement in hostilities.
These treaties, ratified by the President pursuant to the consent of the Senate, generally commit the United States to come to the aid of any signatory that is militarily attacked.

 CONSTITUTIONALITY OF LEGISLATIVE PROVISION REGARDING ABM TREATY
Section 233(a) appears to be designed to apply this principle to the ABM Treaty, by deeming "any agreement that would add one or more countries as signatories to the treaty or [that] would otherwise convert the treaty from a bilateral treaty to a multilateral treaty" to constitute a "substantive[] modif[ication]" of the treaty.
Thus, although some changes in the administration of the ABM Treaty may be entailed by the inclusion of other successor States as parties, we do not see why their inclusion must be considered a matter of "substantively modifying," as distinct from "interpreting" and "implementing," the treaty.
By purporting to determine that the addition of these successor States to the ABM Treaty would constitute an amendment to that treaty requiring the advice and consent of two-thirds of the Senate, the proposed legislation would act in derogation of the President's recognition power.

The latter claim was recognized by Britain in the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty in 1901.
The United States continued to expand the meaning of the doctrine when President Grover Cleveland successfully pressured Britain in 1895 to submit its boundary dispute with Venezuela to arbitration.

 The Treaty of Versailles (1919)
After the terrible experience of a war in which millions of soldiers had died, it was expected that the general cry in the victorious nations would be a call, especially from the French, for harsh retribution against Germany in particular.

The treaty was forced upon the reluctant German government under threat of continuing the war against an exhausted Germany and signed into law on June 28, 1919, five years to the day after the event that triggered the war in the first place--the assassination at Sarajevo.

Foreign policy experts began to question adherence to the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty of 1850, an agreement pledging the U.S. and Britain to not take independent action in constructing a transoceanic canal in Central America.
The Hay-Pauncefote Treaty superceded the earlier Clayton-Bulwer agreement and would be followed by the failed Hay-Herrán Treaty and the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty, both in 1903.
NOTE: An earlier version of the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty was negotiated in 1900, but the agreement failed to provide for fortification of the anticipated canal and did not seek an international guarantee of the canal's neutrality.

The full name of the protocol is: "Austria-Hungary, Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Netherland, Russia, Spain, United States and China —Final Protocol for the Settlement of the Disturbances of 1900", reflecting its nature as a diplomatic protocol rather than a peace treaty at the time of signature.
China later regarded this as one of a series of "Unequal Treaties" which it signed since the First Opium War.
Prince Qing and Li Hongzhang signed the protocol on behalf of the Qing Empire and Alfons Mumm (Freiherr von Schwarzenstein), Ernest Satow and Komura Jutaro signed on behalf of Germany, Britain and Japan respectively.
