Why did James Munroe purchase Illinois?
He didn't. It was during Jefferson's term that the purchase of Louisiana was made and the land that would become Illinois was part of that purchase. Monroe was sent to Paris by Jefferson in 1803 to meet with Robert R. Livingston. The two were instructed to buy New Orleans and as much land to the east as they could for the max of 10,000,000. Napoleon decided to sell all of Louisiana and gave up his dream of a New World empire. Before Monroe could get there Livingston was asked by the French how much would the US give for all of the territory. After a week of hagging on the price, treaties were signed, and on April 30, 1803 Louisiana was ceded to the US for 15,000,000. Jefferson was dumbfounded that a bargain had been reached and that they had paid more than he had given them to spend on New Orleans. They had bought a wilderness to get a great city, but this doubled the size of the US.

Why did monroe issue the monroe doctrine?
President Monroe passed the Monroe Doctrine because he was afraid of too much European involvement in Middle and South America. The US feared new involvement of European powers in the Americas -- first of France after Napoleon's victories, then of the Allied powers after Napoleon's defeat who had sworn to uphold, if necessary, by force, the power of monarchs wherever it was threatened. The Monroe doctrine expressly excluded the already existing involvement of Europe's colonial powers, but it drew the line there: every new 'colonial' effort or any armed intervention to change or forcibly retain the status quo would be actively resisted by the USA.
