The two correct answers reflecting Theodore Roosevelt's beliefs about U.S. foreign policy in the Americas are:

  1. The US should spread democracy throughout Latin America.
  2. The US should police Latin America and had the right to do so.

Roosevelt's approach, particularly exemplified by the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, emphasized the U.S. role as a proactive force in Latin America, often justifying intervention to maintain stability and order in the region.
