How did the three fifths compromise satisfy both the North and the South?

Sagot :

it satisfied the north because the southerners had to pay taxes for the slaves they had.

it satisfied the south because they didn't have to pay as much money as counting a whole slave

Answer:

Explanation:

The compromise stated for every 5 slaves, only 3 would be counted towards population. Northern states count slavery in high numbers to put more tax burden on the South and less to them.

The 3/5's Compromise made a Constitutional Convention in 1787 which allowed the Southern States to count a portion of slaves for the purpose of taxation and representation.
