when the people couldn't decide they decided to make the 3/5 compromise. this compromise was that the slaves would count as 3/5 of a person for representation and tax. so for every 5 slaves 3 would be counted as a person.

delegates proposed that slaves be counted in the population to determine representation, but not counted for the purpose of figuring out taxes. this clearly worked to the southern states advantage because they would have more power in congress, but would pay less in taxes
