The new idea of government was self-rule. The Ordinance of 1787 was creation of the Northwest Territory. It was the first organized territory in the U.S. The people were empowered by the U.S. to exercise all of the powers of government, but they must stay with well defined boundaries.

When looking at the entire Declaration of independence what are the most important concepts that you expect to be included in the Constitution that would be written in 1787?

The most important concepts from the Declaration of Independence that are expected to be included in the Constitution are the principles of individual rights, the idea of popular sovereignty, and the concept of government as a protector of those rights. The emphasis on equality and the notion that governments derive their power from the consent of the governed are foundational elements. Additionally, the Constitution would incorporate mechanisms for checks and balances to prevent tyranny, reflecting the Declaration's concerns about abuse of power. These principles together establish a framework for a government that is accountable to its citizens.
