Answer:

The following three principal provisions were ordained in the document: (1) a division of the Northwest Territory into "not less than three nor more than five States"; (2) a three-stage method for admitting a new state to the Union—with a congressionally appointed governor, secretary, and three judges to rule in the first phase; an elected assembly and one nonvoting delegate to Congress to be elected in the second phase, when the population of the territory reached "five thousand free male inhabitants of full age"; and a state constitution to be drafted and membership to the Union to be requested in the third phase when the population reached 60,000; and (3) a bill of rights protecting religious freedom, the right to a writ of habeas corpus, the benefit of trial by jury, and other individual rights. In addition the ordinance encouraged education and forbade slavery.

IrinaVladis [17]

The statement " Luther did not support the peasant revolt of 1520 because he believed peasants should obey their lords," is true.

Peasants in western and southern Germany demanded agrarian rights and freedom from oppression by nobles and landlords during the peasant uprising in Germany.

Martin Luther condemned the revolt, thus he contributed to its defeat, principally by the army of the Swabian League.
