The Land Ordinance of 1784 redistributed the new lands between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River into new territories. The original states had laid claim to the new lands but Jefferson created the land ordinance to ensure new states could be admitted.

The Land Ordinance of 1785 established a systematic way to divide the new western lands into 1 acre plots to create townships. Each township contained 36-1 acre square plots. With the 16th plot reserved for a school. The act set pricing for land that stayed in place until the 1860s. The reserved plot for schools demonstrated the government's desire to create public schools and to make education a priority.

The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 created the process for lands to become a territory and then to become a state. The act stated slaves were not allowed in the Northwest Territory and all civil liberties were to be protected by the governments. This act demonstrated the progress the Founders were hoping to make and the eventual goals they had for the country in creating new lands.

Why did japan aggressively expand in the 1930s​
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Japan wanted to expand their influence and gain more resources to challenge the West in Asia and establish themselves as the new Pacific and Asian power.

Explanation:

After Japan adopted a westernized military and became heavily industrialized, they lacked the proper resources to produce things like guns, ships, planes, artillery, tanks, etc. Japan also felt threatened by the West given Japan's proximity to their colonies, and felt threatened as an Asian and Pacific power and wanted to become the new Asian power. Japan first needed resources to produce equipment to challenge the West's power in Asia. They declared war on China in 1937 after staging the Marco-polo bridge incident and began spearing into China, hoping to find resources and labor. As the UK was distracted by war in Europe and the French and Dutch collapsed, Japan thought they could swipe their colonies from them knowing they're undefended. These South East Asian colonies were rich in rubber and oil like Malaya and Indonesia. Japan's endgame here was to defeat China, take the resource-rich Western colonies, and establish themselves as the new Pacific and Asian power.

soldi70 [24.7K]
The biggest motivation is to increase viewership while supporting a certain candidate and promoting him. Privately owned media sources are usually biased towards someone and help them while they show bad things about other candidates. In return, they expect support from the candidate if they ever get into a position of power. By being controversial, they get new viewers and earn more money.

denpristay [2]
The Articles of Confederation was the United States' first constitution. It was composed keeping in mind the end goal to join states after the American Revolution. Nonetheless, in light of the fact that the American individuals dreaded solid national governments at the time, it didn't give adequate energy to the central government.
