The answer is D. the 3/5 compromise
The south wanted representation for slaves. In doing so, this would allow them to have more power in congress.
While the north wanted the south to be taxed for having slaves as with any property.
They finally came to an agreement that slaves would count as 3/5 as a person for representation so that both sides could be happy.
