The Three-Fifths Compromise determined that enslaved people would be counted as three-fifths of a person for representation and taxation in the 1787 Constitutional Convention. This agreement arose from tensions between northern and southern states regarding representation and taxation related to slavery. It had significant implications for the balance of power in Congress and the status of enslaved individuals in the United States.
