The Three-Fifths Compromise illustrates that most free Americans, particularly among the framers of the U.S. Constitution, regarded enslaved people primarily as political instruments rather than as full human beings. By counting enslaved individuals as only three-fifths of a person for representation and taxation purposes, it reflected a deeply ingrained dehumanization and a pragmatic approach to balancing power between slaveholding and non-slaveholding states. This compromise highlighted the prevailing attitudes of the time, which prioritized political gain over the recognition of the humanity and rights of enslaved individuals.
