How did the land ordinance of 1785 favor wealthy speculators over ordinary settlers?

The US Congress of the Confederation adopted the Land Ordinance of 1785 on 20th May 1785. As continental congress was unable to tax citizens, so it decided to sell the land of the unmapped territory of the west for raising money. The ordinance acted as the land policy until the Homestead Act was passed in 1862, according to the ordinance the land had to be divided into townships of thirty-six sections, each one of which was of 640 acres. The section was sold to land speculators and the settlers.  It helped in getting the funding for public education by reserving the sixteenth section of each township for the maintenance of public schools. Some sections were also reserved for compensating the revolutionary war. The main issue with this ordinance was that the price of land was too high and it favored the wealthy settlers. The terms for the sale were that 640-acres section were to be sold at the section for more than one dollar per acre. Poor settlers couldn't pay that amount.

freedom of speech is also protected by the 1 amendment.

explanation:

here is pretty much what the 1st amendment says:

congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
