According to the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, a territory could apply for statehood after it had "a population of 60,000."

The Founding Fathers created the U.S. government to have numerous checks and balances as well as a VERY limited central (federal) government. They did this to prevent a relapse of the tyranny (hence “absolute power”) they dealt with under the British Empire.
