The correct answers are as followed:

1) It organized land into districts, territories, and states. - The Northwest Ordinance organized the land effectively and outlined a set of requirements that would allow western territories to apply for statehood. This process allowed for several different US states (like Ohio and Wisconsin) to become part of the US.

2) It guaranteed religious freedom and a trial by jury in the western territory. - The Northwest Ordinance included its own bill of rights that had many similarities to the bill of rights that was included in the US Constitution.
