What events lead up to the slave trade compromise

History

DIA [1.3K]2 years ago

It had to do with political power.
Slave-holding states wanted to include slaves
who were unable to cast ballots in their
political representation in Congress. Non-slave
states perceived this as a ruse to exert
influence over the newly formed government.
This topic has been covered in a lot of writing.
Contrary to some who assert that shows how
the founders thought about black people, they
address the problem of political
representation. Since they now had more
representation in the halls of government than
the non-slave states, many in the slave states
viewed this as a victory. Most individuals who
opposed slavery simply wanted to count the
free people in a population, but those who
supported it wanted to count slaves as well. As
a result, slave owners would be represented in
the Electoral College and the House of
Representatives by a greater number of seats.
Numerous ratios were taken into
consideration, including three-fourths, half,
and one-quarter. James Madison would
propose the Three-Fifths Compromise after
much discussion.

As a result, slave owners would be represented in the Electoral College and the House of Representatives by a greater number of seats. Numerous ratios were taken into consideration, including three-fourths, half, and one-quarter. James Madison would propose the Three-Fifths Compromise after much discussion. The Three-Fifths Compromise was not accepted by all of the states, and the Articles of Confederation needed a unanimous vote. As a result, the Compromise was not ratified until the Constitutional Convention. The Three-Fifths Compromise would dramatically increase slave-owning states' political clout and representation. If the Southern states had been represented equally, 33 seats in the House of Representatives would have gone to them. However, as a result of the Three-Fifths Compromise, the Southern states did have 47 seats in the House of Representatives of the first American Congress in 1790. As a result, by accumulating enough political influence, the South would be able to take control of presidential elections.
