Northwest Ordinance
Northwest Ordinance of 1787
Under the Articles of Confederation, the government established the Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 to systematize the settlement of western lands. The Land Ordinance divided the territory into townships and sections, facilitating orderly sales and settlement. The Northwest Ordinance provided a framework for governance and the admission of new states, ensuring that territories could transition to statehood while guaranteeing rights and freedoms for settlers. Together, these measures promoted organized expansion and the establishment of an orderly society in the West.
