Would it be dictated that new territories would become part of an existing state or it provided a procedure whereby new state could become part of the United States or establish laws that basic rights to settlers or insure that native American living in the territory would become a citizen.

Answer 1

The statements that best describe how the Northwest Ordinance established a method for settlement are:

1. It provided a procedure whereby new states could become part of the United States. - The Northwest Ordinance outlined a process for admitting new states from the Northwest Territory into the Union.

2. It established laws that guaranteed basic rights to settlers. - The Northwest Ordinance included provisions that protected certain rights for settlers, including freedom of religion and the right to a jury trial.

The other statements about dictating that new territories would become part of an existing state and about ensuring that Native Americans living in the territory would become citizens are not accurate representations of the Northwest Ordinance's provisions. The ordinance did not dictate the incorporation of territories into existing states, nor did it guarantee citizenship for Native Americans.
