Slaves should be counted when counting a state’s population to determine representation in congress
The questions were whether to allow slavery (this decision was postponed for 20 years) and whether to count slaves as residents when determining Congressional apportionment and taxation (there was the 3/5 Compromise, which may seem ludicrous today, because the slaves could not vote).

Slaves counted as two-thirds of a person.
At the end of 1819 (after the admission of Alabama as a new state) the balance was equal in the Senate and approximately equal in the House.

They were called free because they had laws limiting slavery or had provisions calling for emancipation over a period of years. The so-called free states mainly had congressional delegations who favored limits on slavery.
The Three-Fifths Compromise was a compromise over how slaves would be accounted for when determining population for congressional representation purposes. The conflict was between the Northern and Southern states.

Slaves were counted by population by three-fifths of a person.
The Three-Fifths Compromise, settled on in 1787, determined that slaves would count as three-fifths of a person for the purposes of representation and taxation. This decision was a contentious compromise between states with varying numbers of slaves and helped shape the balance of power between states in the federal government.
The Three-Fifths Compromise was an agreement between southern and northern states on how the population of slaves would be counted. The number was important since these numbers would be used for congressional representation as well as their stateâ??s tax burden.
