The Three-Fifths Compromise became meaningless with the ratification of the 14th Amendment in 1868. This amendment established that all persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens and mandated equal protection under the law. It effectively disregarded the previous counting of enslaved individuals as three-fifths of a person for congressional representation, thereby affirming the principle of full citizenship for all individuals.
The Thirteenth Amendment, ratified in 1865, made the three-fifths compromise meaningless by abolishing slavery in the United States. The compromise, which counted enslaved people as three-fifths of a person for representation purposes, was rendered obsolete as it relied on the institution of slavery. With the abolition of slavery, there was no longer a need for such a compromise regarding representation in Congress.
It was superseded and thereby rescinded by the 14th Amendment in 1868.

Prior to the 14th Amendment, slaves were counted as three-fifths of a person for the purposes of congressional representation and taxation, as established by the Three-Fifths Compromise in 1787. This compromise was part of the U.S. Constitution and reflected the contentious issue of slavery in the early United States. The 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, granted full citizenship and equal protection under the law to all persons born or naturalized in the U.S., effectively nullifying the three-fifths clause.
The Three-Fifths Compromise, not an amendment, was established in the United States Constitution in 1787 determining that enslaved individuals would be counted as three-fifths of a person for both representation in Congress and taxation purposes.
There is no irony between the three fifths compromise and the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution. The former act was based on the number of slaves that existed in a State for the purposes of counting a State's population and therefore its number of seats in the Hose of Representatives. This was clearly put aside as the amendment abolished slavery.
The compromise that was reached over the issue of slave trade was "Three-Fifths Compromise's.

With the passage of the 13th Amendment the three fifths compromise became a moot point because slavery was abolished.However, the 14th Amendment explicitly addressed the question when it stated 'Representatives shall be apportioned...counting the whole numbers of persons in each state excluding Indians not taxed...'
