Monroe Doctrine Section 1
“…as a principle in which the rights and interests
of the United States are involved, that the
American continents, by the free and
independent condition which they have
assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to
be considered as subjects for future
colonization by any European powers…”
(Monroe Doctrine, 1823)
Monroe Doctrine Section 2
“In the wars of the European powers in matters
relating to themselves we have never taken
any part, not does it comport with our policy
to do so.” (Monroe Doctrine, 1823)
Monroe Doctrine Section 3
“It is only when our rights are invaded or
seriously menaced that we resent injuries or
make preparation for our defense.” (Monroe
Doctrine, 1823)

this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace
and safety.” (Monroe Doctrine, 1823)
Monroe Doctrine Section 5
“ With the existing colonies or dependencies of
any European power we have not interfered

interposition for the purpose of oppressing
them, or controlling in any other manner their
destiny…we declared our neutrality.” (Monroe
Doctrine, 1823)
Monroe Doctrine Section 6

internal concerns of Spain.” (Monroe
Doctrine, 1823)
Monroe Doctrine Section 7
“Our policy in regard to Europe, which was
adopted at an early stage of the wars which
have so long agitated that quarter of the
globe, nevertheless remains the same, which
is, not to interfere in the internal concerns of
any of its powers; to cultivate friendly
relations…” (Monroe Doctrine, 1823)
