Answer 1

The statement that corresponds to a law 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 included provisions regarding how territories could become states and set a minimum population threshold for statehood. The other statements do not accurately reflect the provisions of the Northwest Ordinance.
