Answer: allow settlers to take Native Americans’ land without their consent.
Explanation: The Northwest Ordinance (1787) explicitly stated "the utmost good faith shall always be observed towards the Indians; their lands and property shall never be taken from them without their consent," while it did prohibit slavery in the territory, guarantee religious freedom/due process/trial by jury, and encourage education linked to religion and morality.
