8. “…With the existing colonies or dependencies of any European power we have not interfered and shall not interfere.

For question 8, the main point of the Monroe Doctrine, as shown in the excerpt, is that European oppression upon the newly independent nations of the Western Hemisphere will be treated as oppression upon the United States itself.
To arrive at this answer, we can break down and analyze the excerpt. President James Monroe stated that the United States would not interfere with the existing colonies or dependencies of any European power. However, the United States would not tolerate any European power oppressing or controlling the destiny of the independent nations that had declared and maintained their independence. The United States considered any such interposition by European powers as a manifestation of unfriendly disposition towards the United States.
This implies that the United States viewed the newly independent nations of the Western Hemisphere as allies and pledged to protect them from European interference. Therefore, the key point of the Monroe Doctrine, as demonstrated in this excerpt, is that European oppression upon the newly independent nations would be treated as oppression upon the United States itself.
For question 9, the conclusion outlined in the above quotation regarding the Gibbons v. Ogden Supreme Court decision is that the states must recognize all federal laws.
To arrive at this conclusion, we can analyze the excerpt. The Supreme Court was investigating whether the laws of New York, as interpreted by the state's highest tribunal, violated an act of Congress and deprived a citizen of a right entitled to them by that act.
The court's opinion states that the laws of New York, which prohibited certain vessels licensed according to federal laws from navigating the state's waters, are repugnant to the Constitution. Therefore, these state laws are determined to be void.
This conclusion indicates that when there is a conflict between state laws and federal laws, the federal laws take precedence, and the states must recognize and abide by them.
Please note that the answers provided are based on the information provided in the excerpts. Further context and analysis may be required for a comprehensive understanding of the subjects.
