The U.S. Constitution addressed the issue of how slaves would be counted in the population through the Three-Fifths Compromise. This agreement stipulated that each enslaved person would be counted as three-fifths of a person for purposes of representation and taxation. This compromise was a contentious solution between Northern and Southern states, reflecting the deep divisions over slavery at the time. Ultimately, it aimed to balance the political power between states with large slave populations and those without.
This agreement was made in the original US Constitution, and is generally referred to as "The Great Compromise." The North didn't think that slaves should be counted at all, and the South thought that each slave should be counted as a full person. The reason for the argument was that representation in the house of representatives was based on population and each side wanted to be the majority.
