The Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 established several procedures for the admittance of new territories as states. The three statements represent the guidelines of these ordinances were "Administration of free public education, "equal status of new states with colonial counterparts," and "slavery was not legal in the Northwest territories."
Both legislations served in that time to establish some kind of order or policies to occupy the territories of the west. Thomas Jefferson wrote the Land Ordinance of 1785, asking Congress to make proper decisions to solve the many issues of the time.
Two years later, on July 13, 1787, the Confederation Congress of the new nation passed the Northwest Ordinance, establishing the methods to accept new territories to the Union.
