Answer:

The Three-Fifths Compromise (1787) was a compromise between southern and northern states during the Constitutional Convention in which each slave counted as three-fifths of a person regarding both the distribution of taxes and the apportionment of the members of the United States House of Representatives. Hope this helps :)
