Question

The Northwest Territories could apply for statehood with the Confederation when each of their populations reached __________.

Answer 1

The Northwest Territories could apply for statehood with the Confederation when each of their populations reached 60,000 free inhabitants, including women.

What does applying for statehood mean under the Northwest Ordinance?

It stated that each district would be eligible for statehood whenever its population matched that of the least populated current state and that each district would be able to send one representative to Congress once it reached a population of 20,000. (The Regulation of 1787 replaced this ordinance.)

Its name was changed to the Northwest Ordinance and it established a way for the territories northwest of the Ohio River, which included what would eventually become the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and a portion of Minnesota, to become independent states.
