You're the one getting emotional rather than reaching logical conclusions.Are you really that stupid since SLAVERY was already in place? for many decades but now that a NATIONAL government was to be established, they had to get the South on board thus a compromise was made that made it possible for the Constitution to be ratified.
Since Slaves were not counted as citizens the south needed the 3/5 compromise to have 60% of the slaves counted as population yet even this was not full representation of the population in the south.
What Is The Three-Fifths Compromise?
Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3 of the US Constitution outlines how representatives and taxes must be split between states. The compromise itself is the phrase
meaning that every five slaves in a state would count as three free people to determine how many congresspeople a state would be allotted.
Over all the south because they wanted to keep slavery actually LOST representation power.
Think Goats THINK!
I said America permitted slavery. You have spent all this time, not proving that it didn't, but try to excuse why it did. Save it for someone who gives a shit about your feelings.
