The principle that the U.S. has the right to act as a "policeman" of the Western Hemisphere is largely rooted in the Monroe Doctrine of 1823. This doctrine asserted that any intervention by external powers in the Americas would be viewed as a threat to U.S. security. Over time, the Roosevelt Corollary, added in 1904, expanded this idea, justifying U.S. intervention in Latin American nations to maintain stability and prevent European interference. This framework shaped U.S. foreign policy throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.

Roosevelt justified increased involvement in Latin America primarily through the Monroe Doctrine, which he reinterpreted to assert that the United States had the right to intervene in the region to maintain stability and prevent European interference. He believed that a strong U.S. presence could promote economic development and political stability, thereby safeguarding American interests. This approach was epitomized by the Roosevelt Corollary, which stated that the U.S. would act as a "policeman" in the Western Hemisphere to curb unrest and protect both itself and its neighbors.

The belief that shaped President Theodore Roosevelt's foreign policy in the Western Hemisphere was the Roosevelt Corollary. It asserted the right of the United States to intervene in Latin American countries to maintain stability and prevent European powers from intervening.
