Answer:

The right to dominance in Latin America

Step-by-step explanation:

The Roosevelt corollary was an addition to the Monroe doctrine. this corollary/doctrine was made by Roosevelt after the crisis that rocked Venezuela ( Latin America )from 1902 to 1903 The Roosevelt corollary was all about the united states intervening in conflicts involving Europeans and Latin America as a mediator or international police.

The Corollary was tied to the Monroe doctrine because they both prevent the direct intervention of the Europeans in matters arising in the Latin America region. Roosevelt described his policy as a good neighbor policy in the western hemisphere
