Explanation:

The Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 both encouraged settlement in the United States of America.

On the 20th of May, 1785 the United States Congress of the Confederation adopted the Land Ordinance of 1785. The Land Ordinance of 1785 enabled settlers in the underdeveloped west of the United States of America to purchase title to farmlands due to the fact that US Congress could not generate revenue through direct taxation.

Also, the United States Congress of the Confederation adopted and enacted the Northwest Ordinance on the 13th of July, 1787 which allowed new states to join the union from the Northwest Territory, as well as listing the bill of rights guaranteed.

In Art 6 of the Northwest Ordinance, it was stated that there shall be no more slavery or involuntary servitude in the Northwest Territory.  

Hence, the Northwest Ordinance influenced the expansion of the United States of America because it outlawed slavery in the Northwest Territory and protected civil liberties or freedom such as habeas corpus, due process, freedom of religion, trial by jury, etc.
