The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 reflected Thomas Jefferson's ideas about the expansion of democracy and the importance of education in new territories. Jefferson envisioned the United States as a nation of yeoman farmers, and the ordinance promoted the establishment of schools and the principles of self-governance. It also emphasized the prohibition of slavery in the Northwest Territory, aligning with Jefferson's complex views on liberty and human rights, even as he struggled with the institution of slavery in his own life. Overall, the ordinance embodied Jefferson's aspirations for an agrarian republic and the spread of democratic values.

Thomas Jefferson wrote the Ordinance of 1784 which was significantly different from the Ordinance of 1787(A.K.A. the Northwest Ordinance). although most of the ideas from the Ordinance of 1784 were carried over into the revised document, Thomas Jefferson was not involved in writing the Ordinance of 1787 except for leaving behind a framework for others to use.
