Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Southern delegates wanted slaves to be counted to determine population. This would increase the number of representatives they had in the House. *Northern delegates said that since slaves could not vote, they should not be counted toward the slave's representation. *Congress agreed to the Three-Fifths Compromise. i hope that this helps you
