Overspeculation in western lands?
Speculation on the potential value of lands in the western part of the emerging United States resulted in the loss of many fortunes. This over-speculation caused rampant and short lived land rushes.
What action provided the means by which new states would be created out of the western lands and then admitted into the Union?
The Northwest Ordinance of 1787
Why did states give up western land claims?
Because congress's ability to raise money from states was limited, it decided to raise revenue by selling these lands
What law passed under the Articles was the most important for domestic action?
Under the Articles of Confederation the American colonists fought and defeated Great Britain and gained independence. By the end of the "Confederation era," Congers had created a bureaucracy to administer the day-to-day affairs of the government. The issue over the western lands was solved under the Articles. The large states holding vast amounts of western land ceded the land to the government under the Articles so that all the states could share in the wealth of those lands. The Northwest Ordinances were passed that provided for the creation of equal, self governing states in the Northwest Territories and the newly created states would have the same rights and privileges as the original 13 states. Congress also provided for a survey of the western lands to prepare the land for sale to all.
