Question

The Three-Fifths Compromise benefited which states?

Answer 1

in the northern states both taxed and representatives were based on population; southern states could add three-fifths of the enslaved toward representation; but also had to count them towards taxes owed to the national government

Answer 2

Southern states.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Compromise stated that every five slaves three would be counted as people to determine a state´s total population for legislative representation and taxing purposes. This population number would then be used to determine the number of seats in the United States House of Representatives.

As a result of this, the southern states got third more seats in Congress than if slaves had been ignored.
