[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It may not explicitly say that sentence, but yes, the Constitution does say that slaves shall count as only 3/5 a person, which as the other PP pointed, was a compromise so that the Southern states didn't have even more power that they shouldn't have had t all since slaves weren't allowed a voice at all.[/quote] No, the Constitution does not say that slaves count as only 3/5 of a person. The Constitution says that only 3/5 of the slave population counts. It's not a big difference, and especially it's not a big difference given that even the slave-owning framers of the Constitution pretty much acknowledged that slavery was morally indefensible but they were going to go ahead and keep doing it anyway. But it is a difference.[/quote]
