Hammering Out A Federal Republic

The Monroe Doctrine expressed the idea that new countries should be allowed to develop without interference from any stronger nations. The Monroe Doctrine is a doctrine that European nations should not interfere with American nations or try to acquire more territory in the Western Hemisphere. The Monroe Doctrine was derived from President James Monroe's message in Congress on December 2, 1823 and became a part of the United States foreign policy. Earlier in the Unit they asked me to give the 4 key points made in the Monroe Doctrine. And these are the points President James Monroe made. One that America never took apart of the European power struggles, neither did it agree with the policy they had to do so. Two they had not interfered with the other European colonization. Three that the American continents had not nor would they interfere with the other European power. Four, finally they would consider any attempt by any European power dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States of America.

The Monroe Doctrine and George Washington’s Farewell Address are two important documents in American history. The Monroe Doctrine addresses expansion complications, while Washington’s farewell address advises the future leaders on running the country. Monroe denies further colonization from European powers, and explains the actions that would take place if attempted colonization occurred. Most everything included in the Monroe Doctrine is consistent with Washington’s advice in his Farewell Address. These documents are crucial to the United States’ foreign policy.

1d) monroe doctrine: stated the United States would not get involved in the internal affairs of European countries, the United States would recognized the existing colonies and states in the Western Hemisphere and would not interfere with them, the United States would not permit any colonization of the Western Hemisphere, and any attempt by European power to control the nation in the Western Hemisphere would be viewed as a hostile act towards out country.

When the Monroe Doctrine was first implemented many Americans felt a sense of duty. They felt obligated to protect lands near their country who also wanted the same dream Americans once had. Independence. However as time went on America slowly became a country hungry for power, materials, and most of all land. Resorting to using cheap tricks and methods to provoke another country to go into a war that they will surely lose against the United States. Due to this, the foreign policy actions the United States implemented did reflect the selfish imperialist ambitions they had due to the wars they got into, America’s belief that it was their “destiny” to gain land, and the cunning tricks they used to take land from an independent nation

In this essay I will be explaining to you all on how the Monroe Doctrine came to be, who the document was authored by and how they gained the inspiration and where he got his ideas for this document from. I will explain what nations were affected by the policies of the Doctrine which I will explain in a little bit. I will explain how this document helped the Mexican President Juarez in successfully revolting against the Emperor Maximillian of the French. I will also cover how the British affected the document and also how President Roosevelt wanted to extend the Doctrine with his “Roosevelt Corollary.”

Monroe Doctrine: statement issued by President James Monroe stating that the Western Hemisphere was off limits to further European intervention

On September 19, 1796, President George Washington delivered his farewell address, stating the dangers the new nation would face. In his address he would give advice for the happiness of the nation. Washington dedicates a large portion of his farewell address about explaining foreign relations and the risk of permanent alliances between the United States and foreign nations, which he saw as foreign entanglements. The Farewell Address embodies the core beliefs that Washington hoped would continue to guide the nation.Through his experiences he would urge the country to stay united , follow the outlines of the constitution, and stay neutral with all issues involving foreign countries.

In 1823, President Monroe issued the Monroe Doctrine, creating the basis for future foreign policy. The Monroe Doctrine stated that “the American continents are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers” (1). This means that Europe can not claim anymore land in the Americas, protecting the US from being encroached upon from other foreign countries during this period of colonization. Even though the US would not be able to militarily defend the doctrine and itself from European Powers, this fake image of power kept Europe out for the most part. The Doctrine was issued due to occurring events and existing ideas in the 1800s.

James Monroe's presidential message of December 2nd had an important effect on American foreign policy. His words, which were later known

-The Monroe Doctrine was created on December 2nd, 1823 which proclaimed European powers would no longer interfere or colonize with affairs within the Americas. It limited the power for the European culture. Also, the United States decided to stay neutral with the Europeans and their colonies. The three main concepts consisted of separate spheres of influence for the Americas and Europe, non-colonization, and non-intervention.

In the Monroe Doctrine, John Quincy Adams indicated that there would be no new colonization in the new world and that countries would have democracy and freedom to rule themselves. John Quincy Adams also stated that the United States would not get involved in the European wars. In exchange to that, the Europeans were not interfere with the new Latin American republics.

James Monroe, the current president in 1823, read a message at a meeting with the 18th Congress on December 2, 1832. This message as we know is called the Monroe Doctrine. This message included a warning to the European nation not to meddle with the Western Hemisphere, saying "that the American continents, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers." (Web Guides) It also was a way to increase nationalism. At the time, James Monroe mentioned that the main goal of this message was to meet the problems and concerns at the time. (Milestone Documents)

The Monroe Doctrine was created by James Monroe to threaten Europe. Europe was trying to expand into the western hemisphere and unto American soil. When expanding they were trying to start fights and take over others. Because of what Europe was doing, America felt the need to stand up for themselves, and their

, the Early American Republic faced numerous hardships from the beginning. More specifically, the framework, transitioning from the Articles of Confederation to the Constitution of our multi-faceted government deemed itself controversial. In order for one to determine if the transition from the Articles of Confederation to the Constitution was a major roadblock for American politics, we must analyze both standpoints of the argument. The two major views on this divide were the Federalists and Anti- Federalists. Federalists, predominantly landowners and industry workers, enjoyed the control by a strong, central government. On the contrary, Anti- Federalists, predominantly backcountry farmers and debtors, were already on the verge of tyranny

The federalists wanted the wealthy class to rule and the Democratic republic wanted the people to rule. There are many similarities and differences to this disagreement and yet the democratic republic won the argument and the people of the United States of America rule our country with great pride and pleasure. The differences between the Democratic Republics views and the Federalist views are completely opposite from one another. The federalist believed strongly that the richer people should rule in our country “They did not believe that it was wise to let the public become too involved with politics.”
