Best Answer

The Three-Fifths Compromise was an agreement worked out between delegates of southern and northern states at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Since slaves did not have the right to vote, considering a slave as three fifths a voter gave extra votes to non slave members of states. Some southerners objected since they viewed slaves as property and the numbers were not only used for congressional representation, but for taxation as well.
