State and Federal Constitutions
The Three-Fifths Compromise was a provision reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 that determined how enslaved individuals would be counted when apportioning representation and taxation. It stipulated that each enslaved person would be counted as three-fifths of a person, which affected the political power of slaveholding states in Congress and highlighted the contentious issue of slavery in the formation of the new government.
