Question: How would a Constitutional Convention delegate from a slave-holding state, such as South Carolina, have characterized the Three-Fifths Compromise? "It is an unjustified abuse of governmental power which will likely harm my state's economy." "It is acceptable because it provides each state equal representation in one chamber of Congress." "It is a reasonable agreement that gives my state more power in Congress than if enslaved people were not counted." "It is an outrage to suggest that the interests of enslaved people can be represented by their enslavers."
