What happened in the three fifth compromise?
It was when the southerners wanted to include slaves in the population count even though they wouldn't let them vote. They wanted slaves to be counted because that would increase their states population, therefore giving them more represenatives in the House of Represenatives. The Northerners argued that since the slaves couldn't vote they sound not be counted. So, they agreed that 3/5 of the slaves in the state would be counted in the states population. That became known as the Three-fifths compromise. I am doing this for my homework now
Did the Great Compromises settled the argument over how slaves were to be counted?

What was the outcome of the three fifth compromise?
The three-fifth compromise was the compromise between delegates from the South and delegates in the North when deciding whether or not slaves would count as a part of the population when determining the amount of representation a state received in the House. The South wanted them counted fully, as it would give them more power in Congress, and the North did not as they had less slaves, and since slaves did not count as citizens they did not believe they should be counted when determining representation. So the three-fifths compromise was agreed upon which stated that the population of citizens and "three-fifths of all other persons" would be counted in determining representation in Congress. This was later overturned in the 14th Amendment and 15th Amendments.
Was the three-fifth compromise a faire compromise?
No. Slavery is no longer legal in America, therefore dismissing the compromise which stated that slaves were counted as 3/5th of a person regarding representation and taxation for states.
What was created in response to trying to decide if slaves should be considered when determining population rates?
The Three-Fifths Compromise was created by the Constitutional Convention in 1787 to address the issue of how slaves would be counted for the purpose of determining a state's representation in Congress and its electoral votes. The compromise counted each slave as three-fifths of a person for these purposes, giving southern states more representation despite a significant portion of their population being unable to vote or hold office.
