The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 established a systematic process for the admission of new states from the Northwest Territory, laying the groundwork for westward expansion. It outlined how territories could transition to statehood once they reached a certain population, ensuring an orderly growth of the nation. Additionally, the ordinance included provisions for education and the protection of civil liberties, promoting a framework for governance that encouraged settlement and development. This legal structure facilitated the expansion of the United States by creating a clear pathway for new states to join the Union.

The Ordinance of 1785 established a systematic method for surveying and selling land in the western territories of the United States.

This ordinance aimed to promote orderly settlement and provide revenue for the federal government through land sales. It laid the groundwork for future land policy and development in the expanding nation.
