The Northwest Ordinance.
the Northwest Ordinance
The Articles of Confederation's greatest weakness, was that it had no direct origin in the people themselves. It only knew state sovereignty.
The greatest achievement of the government under the Articles of Confederation was the successful negotiation and passage of the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. This legislation established a framework for the orderly expansion and governance of new territories in the Northwest, promoting the settlement of lands and setting a precedent for the admission of new states. It also included provisions for civil liberties and the prohibition of slavery in the new territories, marking a significant step towards organized governance in the United States.
The land ordinance of 1785 and the northwest ordinance of 1787 are considered achievements under the articles of confederation because they?
~ Planning an Empire for Liberty - charting the settlement of the vast western public domain - was the greatest single achievement in domestic policy for the Confederation. ~ In military matters, the Confederation brought the War of Independence to a successful end. ~ A peace treaty with England.
