The James Monroe Memorial Foundation

Colonial Beach, Va., April 28, 2025 (Send2Press Newswire) – The James Monroe Memorial Foundation proudly announces the publication of “United States in Congress, delegate James Monroe: Architect of the first organic territory law of America”, a new newspaper by the historian Stanley Y. Klos.

The study shows James Monroes Central role not only in the support of Jefferson's ordinance from 1784, but also more critical to design the original framework for the North West Ordinance, which was presented to the congress in spring 1786.

The draft of Monroe created the first organic federal territory of the US state that ruled the US territory -and used the constitutional foundation for proper expansion, the same statehood and the protection of republican principles.

As chairman of the committee for western countries, Monroe shaped the land regulation of 1785 and the territorial governance structure, which developed in the North West Ordinance of 1787 -the only organic law that was demonstrated both under the articles of Confederation under the US constitution.

“James Monroes legal vision has defined how America would grow,” said Stan Klos. “He ensured that new areas were not treated as colonies, but as future states, which saved the ideals of the revolution.”

James Monroes as a delegate for the United States in the Congress (USCA) As part of the articles of the Confederation, there were profound and permanent effects on the United States, although they were often overlooked.

His most important achievements include:

1. Ordinance: played a crucial role in the creation and adoption of the regulation of 1784, the Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which laid the basics for the territorial government, the abolition of slavery and the in -heart services in the northwest of the country and the upbringing of the public through land disorders.
2. Territorial Governance Blueprint: Written the report of the Committee in May 1786, in which a detailed plan for the transition areas in statehood is presented on the basis of population milestones and the backbone of the North West Ordinance from 1787 is formed.
3. Capital parade and preservation: In addition to William Grayson, Monroe successfully campaigned against the relocation of the federal government to Trenton and helped maintain the headquarters in New York by elaborating and ratifying the constitution. This made the stage for the Residence Act from 1790 and the constant establishment of the US capital along the Potomac River.
4. Revolutionary veteran management: As a veteran and congress member, he took the securing of the military victories that were necessary for the ratification of the Paris (1783) contract, and helped the mutiny in the independence hall, which caused the resettlement of the capital of Philadelphia to secure locations.

The complete paper will be published on the James Monroe Memorial Foundation website from April 28, 2025 –
