Question
which provision was found in the northwest ordinance and was also later included in the u.s. constitution?
full voting rights for women
the prohibition of slavery
the establishment of a national religion
an income tax on all employed citizens
Brief Explanations
To solve this, we analyze each option:
- "full voting rights for women": Women's suffrage was not in the Northwest Ordinance or early U.S. Constitution.
- "the prohibition of slavery": The Northwest Ordinance (1787) prohibited slavery in the Northwest Territory. The U.S. Constitution later had provisions (like the 13th Amendment) related to ending slavery, and the Northwest Ordinance's anti - slavery clause was a precursor.
- "the establishment of a national religion": The U.S. Constitution has the Establishment Clause (First Amendment) which prohibits a national religion, and the Northwest Ordinance also had provisions for religious freedom, not establishment of a national religion.
- "an income tax on all employed citizens": Income tax was not in the Northwest Ordinance or early U.S. Constitution (the 16th Amendment later established income tax).
So the correct option is the one about the prohibition of slavery.
