Adams would have wrote the Monroe doctrine, becuase jefferson and madison were telling Monroe to ally with France and Britain in order to keep spain from reclaiming their colonies in the Americas. Adams wanted the US to have more control in the Americas, and not have to worry about European affairs, so he wrote the Monroe Doctrine to keep all Europeans out of the Americas, even though they were not strong enough to enforce it.
The most important part of the Monroe Doctrine was Adams stressing the importance of neutrality for the nation. Without it, there would have been many more wars in America's early years against more powerful countries, and the US would have had a hard time growing.
