http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/historical/northwestterritory.htm Here's a text version of the 1789 (1st Congress) and 1792 (2nd Congress) statutory revisions to the NWO. These seem to add up into a very odd time-line:
1) The NWO was signed under the Articles of Confederation-July 13, 1787
2) The US Constitution took effect-March 4, 1789
3) The Revisions to the NWO were approved-Aug. 7, 1789 & May 8, 1792 .

Okay, how does one entity 'amend and approve' a document that was created by a totally DIFFERENT entity?
The usage of 'United States' in the original NWO is impossible. There WAS no 'United States' at that time.
It seems one would have to draw up another document under the NEW entity in order for it to 'continue to have full effect'.
Until its legal, it can't have ANY effect.
And while I truly appreciate the links to the information, I've yet to find anything on any discussions concerning the Northwest Ordinance except Federalist #38 and #43.
Neither of those are flattering.
