The biggest issue which was dodged in the Constitution was the matter of Slavery. The 3/5ths rule (as found in Article I, Section 2, Clause 3) is the compromise between the Northern states (who did not have slaves) and the Southern ones (which did). It gave the Southern states some benefit from slaves for the purpose of Representation in Congress (and apportionment of revenue), while avoiding handing them an overwhelming edge.
