The three-fifths compromise was an agreement between Southern and Northern states reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, during which the basic framework of the United States was established. Under this compromise, slaves were counted as three-fifths of a human being for the purpose of taxation and representation in Congress. Southerns states were given more seats in Congress and began to dominate the Presidency, the Speakership of the House, and the Supreme Court in the period prior to the Civil War.
The Great Compromise gave the states equal representation in the Senate and representation to population in the House. It also established the electoral college for electing the U.S. presideng. The great compromise forbade Congress to abolish the slave trade before 1808.
