No. According to the Three-Fifths Compromise, every five slaves would be considered 3 persons for the allocation of Representatives in the House of Representatives. For most of the history of the United States up until the Civil War, the United States tried to strike a balance between the number of Slave States and Free States, not 3/5.

How was the electoral college founded?

The electoral college in the US is a compromise reached by the founding fathers. States with smaller populations wanted each state to just have one vote, while states with large populations wanted to have every persons vote. This was not seen as fair by the smaller state because the large states could choose the president every time. So they compromised, each state would have a set number of votes based on the size of that states population.


How were both the great compromise and the three-fifths compromise related to population?

Both assuaged the concerns of the less-populous Southern colonies, to encourage them to remain part of the US under the US Constitution, these states having first joined under the Articles of Confederation.The Great Compromise, or Connecticut Compromise, was a bicameral (two-house) plan used to settle the representation of states in the US Congress. It balanced the power of northern states (with their greater population) and southern states (with their great land area). In the Senate, all states received equal representation regardless of population, that being two senators per state. In the House of Representatives, representation was apportioned based on population.In the House, however, another concession was made to encourage ratification of the Constitution by southern states: their slave populations were included in their apportionment, but only at 3/5 of the actual slave count. This was despite the fact that no slaves could actually vote in a state or federal election.

Did The Missouri Compromise allow two new states into the union both were slave states which maintained the balance of power in the congress?

The phrasing of your question is a bit odd, but I interpret it as "Did the MO compromise allow 2 slave states into the Union?" If that was what you meant, the answer is no. The MO Compromise was made to keep the number senators from free and slave states equal. When it was made, the number was equal, so every slave state had to be admitted in a pair with a free state (and the other way around)(an example is the first pair that the compromise was used for: Maine was split from Massachusetts and admitted as a free state, and Missouri as shortly after admitted as a slave state; every state admitted between 1820 and 1850, when California was admitted alone as a free state (with a pro-slavery senator)). 2 slave states were never admitted at the same time, lest the compromise be broken. The MO Compromise was replaced with another deal in 1850.
