The three-fifths compromise benefited which states? northern states large states southern states small states

the three fifths compromise benefited northern states, because it prevented african american slaves from counting as full citizens in southern slave states, and thus prevented large slave states like virginia from having too large a majority in the house of representatives. if slaves didn’t count as much as a non slave, the southern states couldn’t abuse this to have a larger population and thus had less congressional power than the northern states, where slavery was mostly abolished.

they were the direct result of some cultural difussion.
