The 3/5ths compromise was significant because it help benefit the south with more representation in voting. It counted 3/5ths of all slaves which gave the south more votes because slaves were more abundant .
This had to do with counting population for the purpose of legal representation in Congress. The issue was weather or not to count slaves. Some wanted to count them and some didn't. They worked it out with a compromise. The slaves were counted but they only counted as three fifths each. That way nobody got what they wanted. It was not a good solution but it was something they were able to agree upon at the time. I hope this helps.
