Answer 7

The Northwest Ordinance:

Replaced the Ordinance of 1784. Territorial governors were provided for, as well as a secretary and 3 judges appointed by Congress.
Included a Bill of Rights: Freedom of worship, trial by jury, free speech, habeas corpus and proportional representation
Provided for public education. This was the first national education law passed anywhere in the world.
Provided that a population of 60,000 qualified the territory for statehood.
When there were 5,000 free adult males in each territory, they might elect a bicameral legislature.
The territory could make up 3-5 states with 60,000 population required for admission. Eventually they became the five states mentioned above: Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin.
New states would be admitted “on an equal footing” with the old.
Slavery was prohibited.
