2. Articles I and II most closely reflected ideas expressed in which of the

(A) Declaration of Independence
(B) Articles of Confederation
(C) Constitution as ratified

3. The Northwest Ordinance established both an immediate and long�lasting process for which of the following?
(A) Methods for reaching agreements among states
(B) Policies toward American Indians

1. (C) The relationship between American Indians and settlers in New England in the 17th century. This option best aligns with the principles expressed in Article III, which emphasizes the importance of religion, morality, and knowledge, as well as the utmost good faith toward the Indians.
2. (D) Bill of Rights. Articles I and II of the Northwest Ordinance, which ensure religious freedom and the right to habeas corpus and trial by jury, closely reflect ideas expressed in the Bill of Rights, which also protects these rights and freedoms.
3. (C) Formation of new states. The Northwest Ordinance provided a process for the establishment and organization of new states in the Northwest Territory. It included requirements for population, boundaries, and the rights and privileges of citizens in these new states.
1. The best model for how the principles expressed in Article III could work is (C) The relationship between American Indians and settlers in New England in the 17th century. This is because the article emphasizes the importance of observing utmost good faith toward the Indians and respecting their lands and property, which reflects the principles of early interactions between American Indians and settlers in New England.
2. Articles I and II most closely reflected ideas expressed in (A) Declaration of Independence. This is because both articles emphasize the importance of individual rights and liberties, such as freedom of worship and the right to habeas corpus and trial by jury, which were also key principles expressed in the Declaration of Independence.
3. The Northwest Ordinance established both an immediate and long-lasting process for (C) Formation of new states. The ordinance outlined the steps for creating new states out of the Northwest Territory and set requirements for territorial government, population, and representation before statehood could be achieved. This process was significant in the expansion and development of the United States.
To answer these questions, we need to analyze the given passage and understand the context of the Northwest Ordinance.
Question 1 asks which process provided the best model for how the principles expressed in Article III could work. Article III states that religion, morality, and knowledge should be encouraged, and good faith should be observed toward the Indians. We need to find a historical example that reflects these principles.
(A) The treatment of the Aztecs by the Spanish in the 16th century does not align with the principles expressed in Article III since it involved violence and forced conversion.
(B) The negotiations between American Indians and colonists in Pennsylvania in the 17th century does not provide a clear model for the principles expressed in Article III.
(C) The relationship between American Indians and settlers in New England in the 17th century also does not provide a clear model for the principles expressed in Article III.
(D) The reaction by colonists to the line created by the British in the Proclamation of 1763 does not directly relate to the principles expressed in Article III.
Based on the analysis, none of the options provided in question 1 directly reflect the principles expressed in Article III. Therefore, the answer is (None of the above).
Question 2 asks which document most closely reflects the ideas expressed in Articles I and II. Articles I and II state that individuals shall not be molested on account of their mode of worship or religious sentiments, and they shall have the right to benefits such as writs of habeas corpus and trial by jury.
(A) The Declaration of Independence does not directly address the rights guaranteed in Articles I and II.
(B) The Articles of Confederation do not directly address the rights guaranteed in Articles I and II.
(C) The Constitution as ratified does not directly address the rights guaranteed in Articles I and II.
(D) The Bill of Rights, specifically the First and Sixth Amendments, directly reflect the ideas expressed in Articles I and II. These amendments protect religious freedom, fair trials, and habeas corpus.
Therefore, the answer to question 2 is (D) Bill of Rights.
Question 3 asks what the Northwest Ordinance established both an immediate and long-lasting process for. We need to find the purpose or function of the Northwest Ordinance.
(A) Methods for reaching agreements among states is not the main focus of the Northwest Ordinance.
(B) Policies toward American Indians are addressed in Article III of the Northwest Ordinance but do not represent the primary focus of the legislation.
(C) Formation of new states is the main focus of the Northwest Ordinance. It provided a procedure for territories to become states within the United States.
(D) Procedures to end slavery are not explicitly addressed in the Northwest Ordinance.
Therefore, the answer to question 3 is (C) Formation of new states.
