Is it true that some smaller states would not ratify the articles of confederation until all states have up their claims to western lands?
Yes, it is true that some of the smaller states without Western land claims, such as Maryland, would not ratify the Articles of Confederation unless the larger states such as New York and Virginia abandoned their claims to land in the Ohio River Vallery. Since the Articles had been written so that they had to be ratified, or passed, by all thirteen colonies before they became effective, and the colonies were eager to proceed as a confederation of states, the larger states eventually gave up their claims. This enabled the Confederation to resolve the disputes over conflicting claims to these western lands and to set up the "Northwest Ordinance" which provided for a system of organization and development for these lands.
Why do you think the smaller states oppose the western claims of the larger states?
Because the larger states would have too much representation in the government. The smaller states were worried that they would loose their power in the government.
