The Three-fifths Compromise was proposed by delegates James Wilson and Roger Sherman during the 1787 United States Constitutional Convention. The three fifths clause stated that slaves counted as only three-fifths of a person.
The three-fifths compromise was a strongly anti-slavery provision put into the Constitution. It was written in order to block the pro-slavery south from gaining additional representation in Congress by counting slaves as a full person for census purposes, even though the same slaves did not have the right to vote. It was added as Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 3 to the United States Constitution. It is often referred to as the 3-5 clause, even though it was The Three-fifths Compromise.
It was superceded and thereby rescinded or abolished by the 14th Amendment in 1868, which gave black Americans the same rights as all other citizens.
