The Land Ordinance of 1785 was adopted by the United States Congress of the Confederation on May 20, 1785. It set up a standardized system whereby settlers could purchase title to farmland in the undeveloped west. Congress at the time did not have the power to raise revenue by direct taxation, so land sales provided an important revenue stream. The Ordinance set up a survey system that eventually covered over three-fourths of the area of the continental United States.[1]

The earlier Ordinance of 1784 was a resolution written by Thomas Jefferson (delegate from Virginia) calling for Congress to take action. The land west of the Appalachian Mountains, north of the Ohio River and east of the Mississippi River was to be divided into ten separate states.[2] However, the 1784 resolution did not define the mechanism by which the land would become states, or how the territories would be governed or settled before they became states. The Ordinance of 1785 put the 1784 resolution in operation by providing a mechanism for selling and settling the land,[3]while the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 addressed political needs.

The 1785 ordinance laid the foundations of land policy until passage of the Homestead Act in 1862. The Land Ordinance established the basis for the Public Land Survey System. The initial surveying was performed by Thomas Hutchins. After he died in 1789, responsibility for surveying was transferred to the Surveyor General. Land was to be systematically surveyed into square townships, six miles (9.656 km) on a side. Each of these townships were sub-divided into thirty-six sections of one square mile (2.59 km²) or 640 acres. These sections could then be further subdivided for re-sale by settlers and land speculators.<span>[4]</span>

Determine which direction a nation’s PPC will shift as a result of these major events. Several multinational companies close the
Alchen [17]

Several multinational companies close their factories in the nation because of its changing economic climate.

A nation PPC in this case would suffer a consistent loss in the first years, due to the impact of the multinational companies not only in their respective sectos but also in the aftermath. However, it depends on the respond of the nation to this event how the PPC would be affected in the long period. If the nation has a robust and efficient welfare state, it is possible to absorbe the loss quickier than in other cases.

---

A mass e-learning initiative makes education cheaper and accessible across the nation.

In this case the PPC would likely increase, due to the fact that the education makes possible for the people to access jobs that are paid better, thus having more power of purchase, with positive repercussion on all the nation, not only from a PPC point of view, but also in the quality of life and in the overall happiness of the nation.

---

Government money is illegally taken by increasingly corrupt bureaucrats and politicians.

Corruptions is one of the factor that leads to a loss in the PPC, because much of the economy is hidden from the pubblic, thus it is not affecting the macro-economy of the nation on a statistic base. Corruction however would likely affect the real economy, causing loss of PPC due to lack of jobs, influence on the market and so on.

---

New economic policies facilitate the signing of new international trade agreements.

International trade agreements usually lead to an increase in the PPT, because exportations and importations are heavily affected by the international trade. Less taxes, open market and open exchange of people are fundamental steps in the making of a productive nation with an high PPC, as it possible to see with examples all over the world.
