Answer:  The correct answer is : There was a debate on the representation in the House, raising a topic that no one wanted to talk about, but everyone knew that it should be discussed and it was about Slavery. There were several questions, such as: if the representation was based on the population, the blacks should be counted ?, only free people would be counted ?. There were thousands of slaves, most of them located to the south but also many to the north. Each state was independent of allowing or not slavery. The opinions were divided, some said that the slaves were property, others that the slaves were people and should be counted as all, others said that slavery was an evil institution. To reach an agreement they said that the convention would only consider slavery as a political issue. Finally they decided to count the white people and the free people as one each and every five slaves would be counted as three people. It was called the rule of three fifths. From the Constitution they removed the word "slave" and changed it to "all other people".
