2. Foreign policy is the way that the U.S., and other countries,
conduct their business and relations with each other.

3. The President can make foreign policy either through
independent action, in which he goes and makes the policy
without congress, or proposals for legislation, where he comes
up with a plan and presents it to congress.

pressure, and congressional oversight, in which they oversee
and directly influence the conducting of foreign policy.

5. The Monroe Doctrine was articulated by president James Monroe, and
essentially stated that the European powers need to stay out of the western
hemisphere and our affairs, in order to keep the idea of democracy, and our
way of life, safe. It was important because the eastern ways of government,
the monarchy for example, were so different from our own form of
government that we didn’t want them interfering and spreading their
government into the western hemisphere.

7. The United Nations interacts in foreign policy in many ways,

providing relief for Palestinian refugees.

The World Hunger Organization’s missions include, educating
the general public about the extent of hunger and malnutrition

9. Foreign policy affects all of us, even the average Joe. Relations
with other countries can affect the goods that Americans can
purchase and the availability of other necessities such as gasoline.
What our country does affects all of our daily lives in more ways
than one.
