The US House of Representatives was affected by the three-fifths compromise. Under this bizarre arrangement, Negro slaves (who could not vote) were counted as 3/5 of a person when determining how many Congressmen would be granted to each state. The census kept records of "Free White Persons" on one set of documents and "Free" and "Slave" Negro records on separate documents.
The whole government was affected as it was the beginning of a completely new way of life.
