They wanted to count the slaves are part of the population so they could have more representation in Congress.
During the Constitutional Convention, small states wanted equal representation regardless of population size, advocating for each state to have the same number of representatives in Congress. This was exemplified by the New Jersey Plan, which proposed a unicameral legislature with equal representation for all states. In contrast, large states favored representation based on population, as proposed in the Virginia Plan, believing that this would ensure that their larger populations had a proportional influence in the legislative process. This conflict ultimately led to the Great Compromise, establishing a bicameral legislature with both equal and proportional representation.
Proportional. Because he came from new york, which was a large state. Obviously he didnt want the same amount as a small state like Delaware.

New Jersey wanted each state to have the same number of representatives so that each would have an equal say in the running of the government. Virginia wanted representation based on population because it was more densely populated, and wanted a larger say in the running of the government.

The smaller states followed the "Connecticut Plan" which, as opposed to the larger states' preference, the "Virginia Plan," made plans for a unicameral body in which all states had equal representation - today known as the Senate. The Virginia Plan, on the other hand, was favored by the larger states because it stated that larger populations would equal greater representation in Congress - today known as the House of Representatives.
