The Three-Fifths Compromise
Before and after the official founding of the United States, many people were taken from Africa to the Americas against their will and forced into slavery. States with large populations of enslaved people thought they should count as part of their overall populations. A high total population meant that these states could have more delegates in the House of Representatives — and therefore more power. States with fewer enslaved persons were against this.
Why were smaller states opposed to counting enslaved people as full persons for Congressional representation?
It would decrease their own representation in Congress.
It would increase the political power of slave-holding states.
It would lead to higher taxes for smaller states.
It would immediately abolish slavery in their state

The Three-Fifths Compromise
Eventually, the states came to an agreement. Only three-fifths of each state’s population of enslaved people counted toward the state’s total population. Despite contributing to a state population and therefore the number of state representatives, enslaved people were not considered citizens and therefore had no voice in the country where they lived and that their forced labor helped build. This rule remained a part of the U.S. Constitution until after the American Civil War.
Which of the following is true?
Enslaved people were allowed to vote for leaders.
Every enslaved person was fully counted for deciding how many representatives a state would have.
The rule was only in place for a few years.
Only part of the enslaved population was counted for representation, but they still had no rights or say in government.
