This was a solution to the question of the millions of slaves in the southern states. Part of the deal was that a slave was 3/4 of a person when counted and doing this made the smaller states happy so the population of the southern states didn't take control.

The delegates decided to have one part of the legislature chosen according to population to ensure that representation was based on the size of each state's population, allowing for a fair distribution of power in the government. This would prevent larger states from dominating smaller states in decision-making processes.
