At the Constitutional Convention, delegates from the Southern States wanted slaves to be counted in the census because they had a much higher slace population than the Northern States. So, Southern States wanted slaves to be counted in representation so there states would have more representatives. Northern states did not want this because they did not have nearly as many slaves as states in the South. So, if slaves were to have been included in the census, the South would have more representatives the North. The North also argued that slaves were not citizens of the US, therefore they should not be counted. Because of the dispute, the 3/5ths compromise was established at the Constitutional Convention. This compromise between the states decided that slaves would be calculated into the population for representation by adding up all of the slaves in a given state and then multiplying that number by the fraction 3/5. This compromise gave Southern States more representation than if slaves weren’t to be counted but it did not allow southern states to be overrpresented in the House of Representatives in comparison to the Northern States. Hope this helps!

Answer from: Quest

when we think of ancient pagan kings, the ideas of justice and fairness probably aren't the first things to come to mind. we moderns may be more likely to imagine fickle, power-hungry despots who were ready to put someone to death on a whim. but king hammurabi, who ruled a prosperous and thriving babyloniaalmost four millennia ago, doesn't quite fit that mold. he claimed to have protect the weak from oppression, and scholars believe he fostered an atmosphere of justice and righteousness for his people.

this belief is based on an object that was discovered only a century ago. it has already earned a place alongside the rosetta stone as one of the most important artifacts of the ancient world. this stela (stone pillar) bears the inscription of the code of hammurabi, and it has shed light on the laws, culture and life in babylonia.
