What did the us constitution address the issue of how slaves would be counted in the population?

The U.S. Constitution addressed the issue of how slaves would be counted in the population through the Three-Fifths Compromise. This agreement stipulated that each enslaved person would be counted as three-fifths of a person for purposes of representation and taxation. This compromise was a contentious solution between Northern and Southern states, reflecting the deep divisions over slavery at the time. Ultimately, it aimed to balance the political power between states with large slave populations and those without.
