Question

Which of the following correctly describes the Three-Fifths Compromise?

Answer 1

 Three out of five Black slaves would get a vote in Government. The Three-Fifths clause was the compromise position on the demand of large slave states, such as Virginia, that seats in Congress be apportioned according to the total population of the states.

Answer 2

I can't see the options, however, the Three-Fifths Compromise was a compromise during the 1787 Constitutional Convention in which three fifths of the slave population would be counted when regarding the population of a state in order to determine representation and taxation for the respective state.

This was deemed necessary as the Southern states had a much larger slave population and for all of their slave population to be counted was seen as unfair by the Northern states, which, naturally had a much smaller slave population.
