The other problem was that if slaves were going to counted as people or as property or as both.The south wanted to have slaves counted as people, so that they could get more representatives in house.The north wanted the slaves to be counted as property so that they could tax them, not as people. Because of this came the 3/5 compromise. It said that slaves would be counted as 3/5 a person and a person buying a slave would have to pay 3/5 of the taxes.

It said that there were going to be two houses in congress, the senate would have an equal number of representatives for each state, while the house of representatives would have proportional voting.
