Answer 1

The statement that was established as a law 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 for the admission of new states, which required a population threshold. The other statements do not accurately reflect provisions of the Northwest Ordinance.
