Answer:

3/5 compromise

Step-by-step explanation:

Three-fifths compromise, compromise agreement between delegates from the Northern and the Southern states at the United States Constitutional Convention (1787) that three-fifths of the slave population would be counted for determining direct taxation and representation in the House of Representative

Answer: 3/5 compromise

Explanation: the south wanted their slaves to count for representation in congress (more people = more representation) but they did not want to be taxed for them. The 3/5 compromise basically meant that 3 out of 5 slaves would count for representation but also taxation. Hopefully this helped!
