When the US Constitution was drawn up, most of the black people in the country were slaves that had been brought over in chains or their descendants. As a result they had few rights and were certainly not full citizens or part of the governing class. In fact, they were generally considered to be an inferior race of people, with limited intelligence and incapable of living independently in any civilized way.

How much of a person would black people count?

Black people today and in the past count as the whole person they are. The claim that they were worth 3/5 of a white person is not true. The Constitution counted them as 3/5 toward representation, which was a compromise between those who didn't want them represented and those who thought they should count fully.
