Answer: C. Each new state created from the territory could determine its own level of religious freedom.

The Northwest Ordinance (1787) created a new government for the Northwest Territory. It also outlined a plan that was later used for the country to expand to the Pacific.

The text had three main provisions: the division of the Northwest Territory into not less than three nor more than five states, a method for admitting a new state to the Union, and a bill of rights protecting religious freedom, habeas corpus, trial by jury, and other individual rights.
