Answer:

D) They wanted their full population of slaves to be counted for purposed of Congressional representation.

Explanation:

When the organization of the Senate and the House of Representatives was being established in the laws of the country, it was important to decide how many representatives and senators were going to work in Congress.

Representatives are elected based in population, as more populated states have more representatives. However, the Founding Fathers could not agree on whether slaves were to be counted for this population.

The Three-Fifths Compromise established that three slaves out of every five were to be counted. However, some southern delegates might have opposed this compromise, as they wanted their full population of slaves to be counted for the purpose of Congressional representation.
