Question

The excerpt from a US political policy was written in 1905:

"Chronic wrongdoing may in America, as elsewhere, ultimately require intervention. In the Western Hemisphere the adherence of the United States to the Monroe Doctrine may
force the United States, however reluctantly, in flagrant cases of wrongdoing to the exercise of an international police power."
This statement was meant to justify which of these policies?

Answer 1

The right to intervene in domestic affairs of Latin American countries

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement above was meant to justify the policy of "Big Stick Diplomacy" which is based on "The United States' right to intervene in domestic affairs of Latin American countries."

This is evident in the fact that the above declaration led the United States to be the international police to the region of Western Hemisphere as against the European influence, and ultimately in the long-run serve as an explanation for U.S. constant intervention into the territories of the likes of Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti, Dominican Republic and Central America at large.
