Answer:

Explanation: As the first step toward statehood, each territory had to appoint a governor, a secretary, and three judges. Second, as soon as there were five thousand male residents in the territory, they could elect a legislature and a delegate to Congress. The territorial delegate could not vote until step three was completed.
