The correct answer is C. Under the Three-Fifths Compromise, slaves would be counted as three-fifths of a person when determining representation in Congress.
Explanation:
The Three-Fifth Compromise was a compromise established at the 1787 Philadelphia Convention between the North and South colonies. This compromise considered, in the counting rules of persons represented in the House of Representatives, that a slave was counted for three-fifths of a free man.
The question was important because the population count would then be used to determine how many seats each state would have in the House of Representatives.
