OB. Emancipation Proclamation.
OC. Missouri Compromise.
O D. Open Door Policy.

Answer 1

The Roosevelt Corollary expanded the idea first established by option A.) “Monroe Doctrine.”

Initially, James Monroe issued the Monroe Doctrine in an effort to keep the Europeans from any intervening with the United States. The Europeans later tried to break this doctrine and had to be reminded of it; however, this time it was expanded into financial intervention. This meant the United States told Europe they would handle any financial needs concerning the Western Hemisphere as long as there were no interventions by Europe.

Answer Recap: Option A.) “Monroe Doctrine” was the idea the Roosevelt Corollary expanded on.
