Hey!~
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!

Why was james madison sued, resulting in Maybury v. Madison
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Marbury sued James Madison BECAUSE JAMES REFUSED TO HAND OVER HIS COMMISSION TO HIM.

President John Adams appointed some people as justice of peace just before he existed office and Marbury happened to be one of these people. When the new president came in [Thomas Jefferson], he refused to recognize these people and he instructed his sectary of state, who happened to be James Madison to hold back from giving the appointed people their commissions.

The commission represents the evidence that these people have been appointed by the president. Due to this, Marbury sued James by taking the case to the supreme court.
