Hi there!

Slavery was a major topic during the Constitutional Convention as it was hotly debated by both sides. One of the major issues discussed was...

A. How slaves would be counted for representation

In order to please the southern states and gain their ratification of the Constitution, the framers settled on the three-fifths clause; a clause that declared that each slave was counted as three-fifths a person in terms of representation. This clause was later overturned on the battlefields of the Civil War and the amendments to the Constitution that followed.
