Question

How did Southern states and Northern states differ in their view of how a state’s population should be counted? Southern states wanted to count the people they enslaved as part of their population. Northern states wanted to count only free White people as part of states’ populations. Southern states wanted to give enslaved people political power so they could be counted. Northern states wanted to exclude free African Americans from states’ population counts.

Answer 1

Southern delegates wanted to include slaves in their population count to increase the number of legislators allotted to their states. Northern delegates disagreed and argued that if slaves were not voting citizens, they should not be counted when deciding the number of representatives from each state.

Step-by-step explanation:

Northern states experienced greater urbanization and industrialization while the Southern states largely remained rural (with only a few well-populated urban areas) and focused on plantation agriculture. The population of the Northern states was more than twice that of Southern states.
