How did the land ordinance of 1785 raise money for americas national war debt?
hram777 [196]

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.[4]

The ordinance was also significant for establishing a mechanism for funding public education. Section 16 in each township was reserved for the maintenance of public schools. Many schools today are still located in section sixteen of their respective townships<span>[citation needed]</span>, although a great many of the school sections were sold to raise money for public education. In later States, section 36 of each township was also designated as a "school section".[5][6][7]

The Point of Beginning for the 1785 survey was where Ohio (as the easternmost part of the Northwest Territory), Pennsylvania and Virginia (now West Virginia) met, on the north shore of the Ohio River near East Liverpool, Ohio. There is a historical marker just north of the site, at the state line where Ohio State Route 39 becomes Pennsylvania Route 68.

Revolution is a dynamic process with consequences no one can anticipate. What were the causes of the American Revolution? Explai
Tamiku [17]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

What were the causes of the American Revolution? Explain the initial goals of the colonists in 1765 at the time of the Stamp Act and the evolution of their ultimate decision to declare independence in 1776.

The initial causes of the Revolutionary War of Independence were the following. The American colonists were sick and tired of the unfair laws and legislation imposed by the British government. Colonists were tired of the heavy taxation imposed by the English monarchy such as the Navigation Acts, the Stamp Act, the Townshend Act, or the Tea Act, among many others.

The ultimate decision came when these colonists were angry and upset about the fact that they had no voice or representation in the British Parliament. Colonists knew that by then, they were capable of establishing their own form of government.

Pamphlets such as Thomas Pain's "Common Sense" invited Patriots to support the Revolutionary War. And so it was.

The war started and prominent colonists such as Thomas Jefferson, Robert Livingston, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and John Adams drafted the Declaration of Independence that was promulgated on July 4, 1776.

A nation that is sovereign is one that must obey another nation. is a member of the United Nations. has a system of taxation. is
defon
The correct answer is - has a system of taxation.
Every nation that is sovereign has a system of taxation, they do differ from one country to another, but is something that is a must so that the country can function properly. The country is not obliged to be part of the United Nations, but is very useful if it is. It also doesn't mean that it has to obey another country, if that was the case, than there's no need or point of being sovereign. Most of the countries have outside influences, mainly from the world superpowers like USA, Russia, China, or regional powerful countries.
