What effect did the Northwest Ordinance have on westward growth?

1. New territories could contain slaves.

2. The government would create new states rather than having existing states absorb the new territory.

3. Expansion would occur with the territory becoming part of the existing states that bordered it.

4. Expansion would only occur in the Northwest.
