The Three-Fifths Compromise (during the Constitutional Convention in 1787).
How black slaves were to be counted in the population.
3 5th compromise
3/5 compromise
It was when the southerners wanted to include slaves in the population count even though they wouldn't let them vote. They wanted slaves to be counted because that would increase their states population, therefore giving them more represenatives in the House of Represenatives. The Northerners argued that since the slaves couldn't vote they sound not be counted. So, they agreed that 3/5 of the slaves in the state would be counted in the states population. That became known as the Three-fifths compromise. I am doing this for my homework now
Slaves were counted by population by three-fifths of a person.
One-Half Compromise was the compromise that dealt with the Northern States concern of the Southern States using slaves as part of the counted population thus influencing their representation in Congress.
The three-fifths compromise was designed to solve the issue of whether or not slaves should count in the total population. It was determined that each slave would count as three-fifths of one person.
The disagreement was whether slaves should count for taxes, and population, or not. And the three-fifths compromise was out of every five slaves, three counted towards taxes and population.
