The correct answer is option 4 and 5.

Explanation: Because the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, laid the basis for the government of the Northwest Territory and for the admission of its constituent parts as states into the union. By following this Ordinance, each district in the northwest, was to be governed by a governor and judges appointed by Congress until it attained a population of 5,000 adult free males. When the population reached this number, it would officially become a territory and could form its own representative legislature and the Northwest Territory would have to eventually comprise a minimum of three and a maximum of five states. Thanks to this ordinance, slavery was forever outlawed from the lands of the Northwest Territory, they also had freedom of religion and other civil liberties were granted.
