The Monroe Doctrine reflected growing U.S. power by establishing its sphere of influence.
The United States was incapable of enforcing the Monroe Doctrine when it was delivered. There was understanding at the time of its delivery that the British would be the power defending the Monroe Doctrine, which they did using their large fleet of ships and privateers.
The Monroe Doctrine, articulated in 1823 by President James Monroe, asserted that the Americas were off-limits to further European colonization or interference. It declared any attempt by European powers to control or influence nations in the Western Hemisphere as a threat to U.S. security and would be met with opposition. The doctrine aimed to establish the United States as a dominant power in the region and promoted the idea of American exceptionalism.
The Monroe Doctrine was significant because it asserted the United States' dominance and influence in the Western Hemisphere. It warned European powers against interfering in the affairs of newly independent Latin American countries and stated that any such interference would be seen as a threat to U.S. security. This policy helped establish the United States as a regional power and set the stage for future American interventions in Latin America.
Yes. The British were the only world power with a navy of significant enough strength to enforce the Monroe Doctrine. If the US tried to enforce the Monroe Doctrine, the Spanish fleet would have easily crushed the nascent US Navy.
James Monroe issued the "Monroe Doctrine" in 1823. The Doctrine held that any former colony in the Western Hemisphere that had declared independence and successfully became independant (through either war or treaty) would not be re-colonized by the same or a different European power. Although the young United States was in no position to defend this declaration, the British agreed with the sentiment and argued that their navy, the strongest in the world at the time, would defend the Monroe Doctrine.

The American failures throughout the War of 1812 made the doctrine laughable to Europeans. Latin Americans were doubtful about the U.S. enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine, and generally ignored it. In the early 1900's, the Monroe Doctrine proved it's power. President Theodore Roosevelt aggressively enforced it during the Venezuela Border Dispute and in securing the independence of Cuba from abusive Spanish rule.
ANSWER The France.

The Monroe Doctrine asserted that European powers should not intervene in the political affairs of independent nations in the Americas. It essentially permitted the United States to act as a protector of countries in Latin America against European colonization and interference. This helped establish the United States as a dominant power in the region.
I'd go with France and Spain, the two European nations with the power and desire to continue colonizing the Americas. Ironically, the U.S. didn't have the naval power to enforce the Monroe Doctrine at the time in was enacted and was relying on Britain to do it for them--and Britain did, because they didn't want France or Spain to gain any more power.
