The federal Government did not intervene to uphold the amendment.
At the end of the nineteenth century, American expansionism transformed in many ways. Their position in the global affairs right before World War I was very good actually. They had control over any expansion and over the problems that would raise up in America and the global affairs. Because of their methods of transportation and power, the United States attained authority and reached halfway around the world without any serious problems. America changed many things for the good of every citizen, and if it wasn't for their position in the global affairs, we wouldn't have the opportunities we have today. Also, their changes helped out the World War I. The war could of been more devastating, but America changed that as well.
Charter
Supporters of U.S. expansion justified increased involvement in world affairs through the ideology of Manifest Destiny, which held that it was America's divine right and duty to spread democracy and civilization. They argued that expanding U.S. influence would promote economic interests, secure new markets for American goods, and enhance national security. Additionally, proponents often framed American expansion as a moral obligation to uplift "backward" nations and promote progress and stability globally.

The US did. Their legislation gave their own country the ability to "go wherever and do whatever" on the basis of "national security", regardless of other countries' right of sovereignty and independence, and with an arbitrary decision of what constitutes a risk.
The Platt Amendment, enacted in 1901, was a significant provision in the Cuban constitution that defined the relationship between the United States and Cuba following the Spanish-American War. It granted the U.S. the right to intervene in Cuban affairs and established the Guantanamo Bay naval base. The amendment aimed to ensure that Cuba would not enter into treaties that could compromise its independence and allowed the U.S. to maintain a strong influence over Cuban governance and foreign policy. The Platt Amendment was eventually repealed in 1934.
The Platt Amendment, enacted in 1901, added several provisions to the Cuban constitution that limited Cuba's sovereignty. It granted the United States the right to intervene in Cuban affairs to maintain stability and preserve independence. Additionally, it established terms for U.S. naval bases on the island, most notably Guantanamo Bay, and prohibited Cuba from entering into treaties with other nations that could compromise its independence. This effectively made Cuba a U.S. protectorate until it was repealed in 1934.
