The Northwest Territory was created by the Northwest Ordinance that was signed in July 1787. The Ordinance was responsible for creating rules on how to create new territories in America. The Ordinance also established a form of government for these new territories, it divided it into districts that were initially governed by the Congress and later, when they were admitted to the Union as they reached 60 thousand inhabitants.

Northwest Ordinance. The Northwest Ordinance (formally An Ordinance for the Government of the Territory of the United States, North-West of the River Ohio, and also known as the The Ordinance of 1787) was an act of the Congress of the Confederation of the United States (the Confederation Congress), passed July 13, 1787

First, we must note the difference. The federal system used under the USA allows the government to be branched, so that each area of the land is allowed to focus on their own problems, with a general government to help enforce, supply, and be the 'parent' of the smaller governments. In this way, it eases the tasks needed for a central government, which in turn can focus on national interest and over-sea policies. This type of government also has three branches, and with the passage of the checks-and-balances, allows the three to share equal power and to make sure that none of the branches become to powerful (in becoming a unitary government).

In a unitary system, however, the central government (national) is the only power and only gives its power to those they wish to have. The country is only governed by one branch, the executive branch, which also incorporates all other branches together too. However, there are many sub-branches, but they do not have the same rights (as they do not have checks-and-balances, as in the federal system). These rights are given by the central government, who has the final say in all things.

Why are primary sources important when studying historical events ?
emmasim [6.3K]

Primary sources are important when studying historical events, because they generally give eye-witness accounts of what is going on, albeit with opinions. They give historians a view of what a certain group of people think, the actions they take, and how the events affect their everyday lives. Primary sources also allow others to build on top of it, and to give 'parts of the "whole"', such as the pieces of a puzzle, to giving those in the future a more narrow and personal outlook of things.
