Abstract
The theory of democratic peace was first invented by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant in his 1795 article “Permanent Peace.” In this paper, Kant argues that states with governments of constitutional republics are less likely to go to war because doing so requires the consent of the people who would be at war. While monarch kings and queens can unilaterally declare war, given the security of their subjects, a government elected by the people takes the decision more seriously. The United States first promoted the concepts of democratic peace theory in 1832 by adopting the Monroe Doctrine. In this historic part of international politics, the US has affirmed that it will not tolerate the attempts of European monarchies to colonize any democratic nation in North or South America.
