Where is the Three-Fifths Compromise stated in the Constitution?

The Three-fifths compromise is found in the (easy to remember) Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 3 of the Constitution.
It allowed southern states to count each slave as 3/5 of a person, for purposes of determining their representation in Congress. It was a compromise between the southern states' desire to count each slave as one full person (despite the fact that slaves couldn't vote) and the northern states' wishes not to count slaves at all.
It had a major effect on pre-Civil War U.S. politics, especially in the House of Representatives, since slaveholding states had a disproportionate amount of power as compared to the non-slaveholding states. But it was partly balanced by the Connecticut Compromise, which led to the formation of a separate Senate, in which every state (no matter how large or small) was entitled to the same number of senators: two.
