∙ 11y agoThe 3/5 Compromise was used in the Pennsylvania Constitutional Convention in 1787 to make the taxation and appointment of a gov't official more "equal" between the Northern and Southern states.
Slaves basically were 3/5 of the delegated and then added on when it came to taxes and representation, but they still weren't considered citizens, merely property.
But before the Civil War, this actually made things disproportionate. The South had more power and often dominated many decisions made in electing gov't officials.
