Q: Do the Monroe Doctrine and the Roosevelt Corollary give the United States the right to intervene in the political and economic affairs of Latin America? A: No, that is actually a misconception; the United States has no more right to interfere with the actions of a sovereign nation in Latin America than anyone else in the world. Although some people think that the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine is a justification of U.S. action in Latin America, the Roosevelt Corollary is in no way, shape, or form a recognized treaty or legal document. In fact, neither the Monroe Doctrine nor the Roosevelt Corollary were ever anything more than glorified policy statements; the respective presidents delivered them as parts of speeches to Congress, not as potential bills or other formal documents.
