Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The government was not able to produce funds by direct taxation of the people!. Take into account that government had land that was sitting idle!. This land through means of privatization could be sold to raise funds for the government!. This ordinance also started a means for public education!.

Take a look at the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, and the Homestead act in 1862!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
