  2. It was enforced by France.
  3. It created a United States sphere of influence in the Western Hemisphere.
  4. It established states’ rights.
Explanation
Answer - C - The Monroe Doctrine created a sphere of influences for the United States in the Western Hemisphere.

Key Takeaway: In 1823, the passage of the Monroe Doctrine made it forbidden for Europeans to further colonize the Western Hemisphere, stating it would interfere in American affairs. This created a sphere of influence for the United States that they previously had not held in the Americas. The Doctrine was fully supported by England and did not require further enforcement.
