When it came to the early 1500's, there was no separation of church and state. The king was always kept in check by the church. Although everybody in the kingdoms answered to the kings, the kings answered to God. All the rules that were put in place were done so in respect of the church's commandments, keeping in mind what God wanted the people to do.

I believe that the Monroe Doctrine should not be followed today. The Monroe Doctrine was a United States policy of opposing European colonialism in The Americas beginning in 1823. There is no need for that, for all people are created equal and we shouldn't be blocking them out. They have the right to come in unless they mean harm.
Hope this helps and have a great day!
