What was the 3/5th compromise made in the constitutional convention, explain?

This compromise was proposed by James Wilson and Roger Sherman. Both of these men were delegates meaning that they were people who were chosen to represent a group of people. James Wilson helped write both the constitution and signed the Declaration of Independence. Roger Sherman was also very important because he signed the Articles of Confederation. Now, let’s get back to the question you asked about what was the 3/5th compromise. The 3/5th compromise was an agreement between the Northern and Southern states. In the north, most states did not want to count slaves as part of the population but the south had a different view on this. The southern states wanted to count them so it would help them get more representatives in Congress. The 3/5th compromise was a way to allow the government to count 3/5 of the slaves as people.

the  wilmot proviso  was designed to eliminate  slavery  within the  landacquired as a result of the mexican war (1846-48). fearing the addition of a pro-slave territory, pennsylvania congressman david  wilmot proposedhis amendment to the bill.
