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.

Explanation:
Serfdom, condition in medieval Europe in which a tenant farmer was bound to a hereditary plot of land and to the will of his landlord. The vast majority of serfs in medieval Europe obtained their subsistence by cultivating a plot of land that was owned by a lord. This was the essential feature differentiating serfs from slaves, who were bought and sold without reference to a plot of land. The serf provided his own food and clothing from his own productive efforts. A substantial proportion of the grain the serf grew on his holding had to be given to his lord. The lord could also compel the serf to cultivate that portion of the lord’s land that was not held by other tenants (called demesne land). The serf also had to use his lord’s grain mills and no others.
