The correct statement related to laws established by the Northwest Ordinance is:
Only territories with a population of at least 60,000 could apply for statehood.
The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 set the framework for the governance of the Northwest Territory and included provisions that territories would be eligible for statehood once they had a population of 60,000 free inhabitants. The other statements do not accurately reflect the provisions of the Northwest Ordinance.
