The first Continental Congress was called after Parliament passed the Coercive Acts (called the Intolerable Acts in the colonies) to represent the interests of all the colonies. This is an important step as the colonies previously were reluctant to work with one another.The Congress convened in Philadelphia on September 5, 1774. All the colonies except Georgia were represented. Delegates from Canada were invited, hence the name "Continental Congress" but none attended.Originally the Congress discussed--and voted down a "Plan of Union" which would call for a Governor-General appointed by the King and a Grand Council appointed by the colonies. All acts of the Council were to be subject to Parliamentary approval. This was voted down 6-5 (voting was conducted by Colonies, much to the disdain of Patrick Henry who argued that the delegates were Americans first, then Virginians, New Yorkers, etc.)The Congress did pass a Declaration of American Rights which stated:Parliament had the right to regulate commerce and matters which were strictly imperial. It explicitly did not have the right to regulate internal matters in the colonies.The "rights of Englishmen" for all Americans was proclaimed. The denial of their rights as Englishmen had been a primary complaint from the beginning.Each colonial assembly had the right to determine if British troops were required within its borders.The Convention also adopted a "Dominion Theory" which held that each colony was a distinct and separate realm, subject to rule by the King alone, not Parliament. Since England was a Constitutional Monarchy, they would implicitly be guaranteed the Rights of Englishmen.Finally the Congress adopted the Continental Association of 1774 which recommended that each colony enforce a boycott of British goods; for an interconnection of the colonies to enforce the boycott in all colonies and also enforce the non-exportation of American goods to Britain until such time as the colonies grievances were addressed.

Answer: Theodore Roosevelt's Foreign Policy.
Explanation:
In that position, young President Theodor Roosevelt considered it an ideal time for the United States to establish itself as the world's largest power. After the American-Spanish war, Zrmlja proved that it was dominant in the military sense, and based on that experience, it continued to build that policy. Roosevelt believed that the United States could be a major factor in the Western Hemisphere. Roosevelt began a project to build the Panama Canal in the early 20th century. That was part of the policy of the "Big Stick". In that way, the united states would realize the intention of the world military leader.
The canal's construction had a financial basis in the context of trade and geostrategic significance. The "Big Stick" policy was also reflected when sending the navy to Colombia; Roosevelt tried to settle the new situation in Panama. In this way, Roosevelt helped Panama enter the world union of countries, but at a certain price. Panama was an American protectorate until the beginning of World War II (1939). Thus Roosevelt ensured the smooth construction of the Panama Canal.
