Explanation:

The Northwest Ordinance was passed by the Confederation Congress in 1787. It controlled the admission of the Western territory of the United States, as separate independent states.

The Northwest ordinance stated that all territories should go through the same admission process that consisted in three steps. The first one was that the Congress would select a governor, a secretary and three judges. The second one was that when 5,000 free men lived in the territory they could elect their legislature. The final process was whenever a territory reached a population of 60,000 people they could apply for statehood.

The Northwest Ordinance also set up the basis for how states should function and stopped slavery, making the Ohio River the boundary between free and slave states. In addition, the Northwest Ordinance restricted colonial settlement, stating that the United States would expand with the incorporation on new states, but the expansion of existing states would not be allowed.
