The government of the new states formed through the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 (not 1877) was appointed by the Congress of the Confederation. The ordinance established a framework for governance in the Northwest Territory, allowing Congress to appoint a governor, a secretary, and three judges to oversee the territory. These appointees were responsible for creating laws and managing the administration of the territory until it could achieve statehood.
