It counted slaves as 3/5 of a person. They didn't know whether to count slaves as part of the population or as property. The result ended up being the three-fifths compromise.

Slavery was a hotly debated topic at the Constitutional Convention. On one hand, Southern states wanted slaves to count towards population. This would increase the amount of representatives the Southern states had in the House of Representatives.

On the other hand, the South did not want slaves to count towards the population because this would result in the Southern states paying more direct taxes to the federal government.

The North felt the opposite than the South. Nonetheless, this issue was solved by the 3/5ths Compromise. This compromise stated that every 5 slaves would count as 3 people towards a states population for both representation and taxation.

Why would people be enslaved? and why would someone enslave another?​
Stels [109]

Answer: Many reasons. Most of them terrible.

But possibly for the identical reason that a decent parent who is totally against penalty would be willing to do and use it if their child keeps mindlessly walking into oncoming traffic (regardless of what number times they tried other methods to prevent them from doing it).

Sometimes you'll be able to keep your principals and morals… and stick out the dead kid. otherwise you can do whatever is important to prevent them from killing themselves and others… whether or not it means becoming a tyrant and a dictator in their eyes and therefore the eyes of others. whether or not it means going against your own core beliefs.
