What did the three fifths compromise do
Definition1/3

The Three Fifths Compromise solved the problem of how population should be counted in slave states in terms of representation in Congress as well as tax purposes. Since black slaves made up a significant part of the population in the southern states, and they did not have the right to vote, it was declared that the slaves would represent three fifths of a white person.
