In Philadelphia, the constitutional convection could hardly Dodge the questions that slavery raised. In regard to taxation and representation, especially, feeling ran hot. The South feared that a poll tax might be levied and slaves would be counted as persons for taxation purposes. WHen the representation was discussed, the North opposed counting slaves at all. A comporomise was reached that for both taxation and representation. all other persons (slaves) would count as three-fifths of a person. Hope that helps.

What efforts at reform preceded the Convention in Philadelphia?
Before the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787, several reform efforts highlighted the need for a stronger national government. The Articles of Confederation, established in 1781, proved inadequate as they granted limited powers to the federal government, leading to economic instability and interstate conflicts. Events such as Shays' Rebellion in 1786 underscored the weaknesses of the Articles, prompting calls for reform. The Annapolis Convention in 1786 also aimed to address trade and economic issues, setting the stage for the more comprehensive discussions at the Philadelphia Convention.
