Slavery was implicitly recognised in the original Constitution in provisions such as Article I, Section 2, Clause 3, commonly known as the Three-Fifths Compromise, which provided that three-fifths of each state's enslaved population (“other persons”) was to be added to its free population for the purposes of apportioning seats in the United States House of Representatives and direct taxes among the states.
George Mason contributed to the United States Constitution by becoming the chief supporter of the Bill of Rights.
Mason was a delegate to the<em> US Constitutional Convention</em> of 1787. However, at that time, he refused to sign the Constitution alleging the inexistence of the <em>Bill of Rights</em> and objecting the slave trade for navigation acts.
