Which of these best summarizes the Monroe Doctrine?

The Monroe Doctrine said that the Western Hemisphere was closed to new European colonization or interference, and the United States would view any European attempts to control or re-colonize American nations as a threat — while the U.S. pledged not to meddle in European internal affairs.

Explanation

  • Who/when: Announced by President James Monroe in 1823 (with policy input from John Quincy Adams).
  • Main points:
  1. European powers should not create new colonies or interfere with independent nations in the Americas.
  2. The U.S. would consider such interference a hostile act requiring U.S. response.
  3. The U.S. would not intervene in existing European wars or colonial affairs in Europe.
  • Purpose and impact: It asserted a U.S. sphere of influence in the Western Hemisphere and aimed to protect newly independent Latin American republics from European recolonization. At the time the U.S. lacked the naval power to enforce it fully; British naval strength helped deter European actions that would violate the doctrine. Over time the Monroe Doctrine became a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy and was expanded (e.g., the Roosevelt Corollary) to justify greater U.S. intervention in Latin America.

A game is said to be fair if the expected value (after considering the cost) is 0. This means that in the long run, both the player and the “house” would expect to win nothing. If the value is positive, the game is in your favor. If the value is negative, the game is not in your favor. At a carnival, you pay $1 to choose a card from a standard deck. If you choose a red card, you double your money, but if you pick a black card, you do not get any. (A standard deck of cards has 52 cards. 26 of the cards are red.)

Calculating tax incidence Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge cola consumers a tax. Before the tax, 10,000 cases of cola were sold every week at a price of $5 per case. After the tax, 3,000 cases of cola are sold every week; consumers pay $8 per case (including the tax), and producers receive $3 per case. 1) The amount of the tax on a case of cola is $??? per case. 2) Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $??? per case, and the burden that falls on producers is ???$ per case. 3) True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been the same as if the tax had been levied on producers.
