The government that allowed states to buy lands they had claimed to the west was the United States federal government, particularly under the leadership of President Thomas Jefferson. This was facilitated through the Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which established a framework for the sale and governance of western territories. These laws enabled states to acquire land in the West, contributing to the westward expansion of the United States.
