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.
