The Northwest Ordinance is a recognition by Congress that education is needed and should be encouraged in the states that would eventually be formed out of the so-called northwest territory. Article 3 of the Ordinance states: "Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged." The Ordinance was adopted by Congress in 1787 under the former Articles of Confederation and about 2 years before the present Constitution became fully effective; however it continued to apply after the Constitution was adopted.
