What was one of the major conflicts between northern and southern states in the writing of the new constitution censored on?

One major conflict between northern and southern states during the writing of the new Constitution centered around the issue of slavery and representation. Southern states wanted enslaved individuals to be counted as part of the population for representation in Congress, while northern states argued that since enslaved people were not considered citizens, they should not be counted. This disagreement led to the Three-Fifths Compromise, where three-fifths of the enslaved population would be counted for both taxation and representation purposes, highlighting the deep divisions over slavery that would eventually contribute to the Civil War.
