Yes, Kilwa was socially stratified.
The highest class was of the rulers who claimed direct Arab ancestry. They owned large plantations and controlled Indian Ocean trades.
The next was that of the Muslim-Swahili speakers who were mainly African. They were artisans and minor court officials.
The lowest class was of slaves who were non-Muslims. They worked on farms or estates or in production of cotton beads.

gladu [14]

The correct answer is counting slaves as three fifths of a person for the purposes of apportionment.

The fight over whether or not slaves would count towards a states population had major implications. This is because in one of the houses of Congress (the House of Representatives) the number of representatives in the state depends on its population. States with larger populations would then have more representatives. More representatives means that states would have more influence over national laws.\

This is why southern states (that had slaves) fought to count them towards the population while states without slavery fought against counting slaves as part of the population.
