How did Madison advocate for the southern interests counter the objection that other forms of property were not being counted for purposes of representation?

James Madison advocated for southern interests by emphasizing that enslaved individuals, though not considered full citizens, were still a form of property that contributed to the economic wealth of the southern states. He argued that counting enslaved people for representation would balance the political power between northern and southern states, addressing concerns that other forms of property, such as land or wealth, were not being factored into representation calculations. This position sought to ensure that the political influence of slaveholding states was preserved in the new government structure.
