The issue of this political cartoon is the Roosevelt Corollary. The main issue of the bill is the severity of it. The message is how America is the protector of the Caribbean Islands with the Roosevelt Corollary. Some people opinions could have been that the bill was excessive. Other reasons may been the bill was an excuse to show off the military. More people could have interpreted it as America trying to keep its from Europe. Techniques used are symbolism to show what the law did. Labeling is used to show what countries are being protected. The Corollary benefitted both countries in away. The law allowed America to protect its territory, and the islands gained protection from European countries.
