I thought that the 3/5ths compromise was a fair solution to the dilemma that surrounded how we should count slaves. This is because although slaves are people, they are also property. They work for their masters, and they could be sold from person to person. But because they can think and aren’t irrational animals, they should be also considered as people. Although it wasn’t completely fair to the slaves and states, it was fair and necessary to make sure the Southern states had supported the Constitution.
