Answer 1

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

• It provided a procedure whereby new states could become part of the United States.

The other statements are not accurate in the context of the Northwest Ordinance. The ordinance did not dictate that new territories would become part of an existing state, nor did it ensure that any Native American living in the territory would become a citizen.
