    The document discusses the transition from the Articles of Confederation to the U.S. Constitution, including the establishment of territories like the Northwest Territory and events like Shay's Rebellion that led to calls for a stronger federal government.

    The Northwest Ordinance established a plan for surveying and selling lands west of the Appalachian Mountains in the Northwest Territory.

    The Articles of Confederation outlined the form of government of the new United States and was adopted by the Continental Congress in 1777 and finally approved by the states in 1781.
