The Northwest Ordinance refers to a historical law passed by the United States Congress in 1787. It established guidelines for the governance and settlement of the Northwestern Territory, which included the area that is now the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. The ordinance outlined principles such as the protection of individual rights, the prohibition of slavery, and the process for admitting new states to the Union.
The northwest ordinance added to the guidlines for american expansion that were introduced in the articles of confederation
With the opening of the frontier, and settlement in those areas by Americans, there was no bill of rights, or methods for admitting new states. The Northwest Ordinance was farsighted in that it provided rules for this.
The result of the Land Ordinance of 1878 was the expansion of the US up to the Mississippi River. This would lead to colonization and state creations, making another place for American Settlers to move to.

The land ordinance called for surveyors to stake out six-mile-square plots, called townships, in the western land. The northwest ordinance described how this land they established would be governed. (it ended up gaining rights to self-government)

Land Ordinance provided that the acreage of the Old Northwest should be sold and that the proceeds should be used to help pay off the national debt.
