The Three-Fifths Compromise, established in the United States Constitution in 1787, allowed slave states to count three-fifths of their enslaved population for representation and taxation purposes. This compromise aimed to balance the interests of slaveholding states with those of non-slaveholding states during the formulation of the Constitution. However, it perpetuated the systemic power imbalance between slaveholding and non-slaveholding states and further legitimized the institution of slavery.

The Three-fifths compromise is found in the (easy to remember) Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 3 of the Constitution.It allowed southern states to count each slave as 3/5 of a person, for purposes of determining their representation in Congress. It was a compromise between the southern states' desire to count each slave as one full person (despite the fact that slaves couldn't vote) and the northern states' wishes not to count slaves at all.It had a major effect on pre-Civil War U.S. politics, especially in the House of Representatives, since slaveholding states had a disproportionate amount of power as compared to the non-slaveholding states. But it was partly balanced by the Connecticut Compromise, which led to the formation of a separate Senate, in which every state (no matter how large or small) was entitled to the same number of senators: two.
