1. What did the issuing of the Monroe Doctrine express from an American perspective post War of 1812?
The issuing of the Monroe Doctrine expressed, from a post War of 1812 American point of view, that America was its own country, and that the lands in North America were closed to European powers, which would hopefully prevent another war.

2. What was the Secretary of State Adams' hope when he wrote the Monroe Doctrine?
Secretary of State Adams probably was hoping that, with the Monroe Doctrine, the European countries would leave the North American lands alone, and the US would do the same for European land, so the US could continue not engaging in any wars.

3. What is the key phrase in the entire document that you need to remember as the cornerstone for American Foreign Policy?
The key phrase in this document is "That the American continents, by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization."
