Question

What law or act allowed Ohio to become a state of the union?

Answer 1

The Northwest Ordinance. and On May 19, 1953, the House voted to approve legislation that ratified the original state constitution, effectively admitting Ohio to the Union as of March 1, 1803. President Dwight Eisenhower signed this legislation into law on August 7, 1953.. So ur answer is Original State Consitution I think

Answer 2

Although legally Ohio became the 17th state with the February 19, 1803 act of Congress, Ohio statehood is celebrated on March 1. The date of March 1, 1803 was when the Ohio legislature met for the first time. This was retroactively made the statehood date by a 1953 Resolution of the United States Congress.
