John Quincy Adams opposed the Monroe Doctrine primarily because he was concerned that it might entangle the United States in European conflicts and undermine American interests. He believed the doctrine should not be framed as a unilateral policy but rather as a collective stance with other nations. Adams was also wary of the potential for the doctrine to justify American expansionism and interventionism in the Western Hemisphere. Ultimately, he prioritized a cautious approach to foreign policy that emphasized diplomacy over confrontation.

James Monroe did not write the Monroe Doctrine, he adopted it.Not a fact. It is asserted by others that James Monroe authored the Doctrine, while accepting the input from cabinet members. Harlow Giles Unger, author of The Last Founding Fatherargues "The assertion that Adams is the author of the Monroe Doctrine is not only untrue, it borders ludicrous implying that Monroe was little more than a puppet manipulated by another's hand". John Quincy Adams is given credit for influencing Monroe's opinion though.
