The US Constitution, Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 3:

"Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to service for a term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons." The above answer is correct, but to sum it all up the official name for all of this is the 3/5ths Clause or Three Fiths Clause
