In the wars of the European powers in matters relating to themselves we have never taken any part, nor does it comport (agree) with our policy so to do. Which political decision best supports the sentiment in the excerpt?

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The political decision that best supports the sentiment in the excerpt is the foreign policy of Isolationism regarding the foreign issues of the European countries.

Those series of statements were part of a speech delivered by United States President James Monroe to the US Congress on December 2, 1823.

To finish his idea, he continued to say that as the US respected their foreign issues in Europe, he would expect the European nations to not mess again in the issues of Latin America. The issues of North America and Latin America were issues that the United States would handle.

Here, President Monroe wanted to protect the safety, political and economic interests of the United States in the region.
