The Northwest Ordinance is considered one of the most important laws in American history because it created the process for admitting states and expanding the country (C).
Passed in 1787, it recognized the sovereignty of the Federal government and allowed it to become bigger and bigger by creating entirely new states in the west, instead of enlarging the thirteen states which already existed. This resulted in the creation of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin in the early nineteenth century.
Grandfather clauses were designed to prevent poor and illiterate African Americans from voting.
This term was coined in the 19th century when new rules for literacy tests, poll taxes and requirements for voting were established.
Some white people who did not fulfill the requirements were still allowed to vote because their ancestors ( grandfathers ) had the right to vote. This was a way to make voting possible for white Americans, and to make voting almost impossible for black people.
Today, this term applies to a provision in which an old rule continues to apply to some existing situation while a new rule will apply to future cases.
